    Every gps ping your phone sells to ad companies? Every nanny cam that is connected to the cloud?

          I said no such thing. Private is private. I’m saying there is no such thing as public information, information that you put on the public internet, meaning for the public to see, then being somehow not “free”.

          You can argue about copyright a little, I’m against it, but this has nothing to do with private messages or private information or data protection.

          You’re just arguing a strawman and trying to make the discussion about something else and an ad hominem calling me a troll.

            All I said in the original comment was stolen data and you are the one that decided I meant “public data available to on the open Internet” and started arguing against that. Who is arguing with a strawman here?

              You wrote “they stole all their data”. Since they mostly use publicly available data like books, articles, papers, internet forums, social media (all public info) it must mean they “stole” that public data.

              Which means you believe that data should be intellectual property and belong to someone like meta or reddit (who else?). This is exactly what the oligarchs want.
