Welcome to our weekend conversation!
Many of us may not have a grasp on concepts like “cookies,” “data harvesting,” “data brokers,” “data aggregation for sale to third parties,” and things like that.
Personally, I am only just starting to get a handle on these things. Learning about all this requires work. It requires looking past the surface of things—the immediate gratification gained from clicking on content, liking posts, accessing articles, getting a service, and so on. It requires reading fine print, and fine print is usually small, hidden, and boring.
Sometimes, though, it pays to read the fine print. Particularly when you have questions about how a business is operating.
