Do you really care about privacy?

With the recent change to WhatsApp’s terms of use to send data to Facebook, people have been talking about privacy issues.

But do we really care? In reality, you probably have little to no privacy anymore unless you don’t use ANY technology (which obviously, you do since you’re on LinkedIn).

A simple credit card transaction releases a ton of data. For one, they know what you’re buying, how much you spend, how much you spend at X store, at what frequency, how much debt you have, and more.

We’re blissfully ignorant of the fact that we don’t have privacy. And you probably don’t care about it. You care more that that privacy is being used maliciously — maybe that card company starts sending you X promotion to get you to purchase from X company.
