Ok, let’s be honest are you getting a flow of “Privacy Notices”? Well it is not just you, we are all getting them. So here is the short and sweet version of it, we are all getting a flood of emails and everyone is asking us to update and consent or should I say opt-in to the various forms of data collect. This of course is because of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that has been affecting all the European Union members.
Let’s be realistic how many of you read and responded or followed the steps from the various platforms?? I have been busy deleting and doing nothing but deleting this mass “attack” of my email box. No, I have not been reading them, life is too short for all this. After all they have taken over in volume compared to the number of spam emails I have been receiving, hence I treat them just like my spam Emails… delete… delete.
Honestly my take is that all this is nothing more than a CYA document for all the Internet practitioners to comply with a Mandate that only effects European Union Members.
So, what is this about? Well the short answer is, that It is about Internet Privacy. Please allow me to be sarcastic and compare it to when someone left the gates open in a ranch and all the horses and cows ran out. That is what has happened to your privacy, all the big boys FB, Google, Chrome, Amazon and the list goes on and on have been robbing us of our privacy. I have not even addressed the Government Agencies. Anyway, add it up, over the past ten years we have given up our privacy for the privilege of having “free Internet” sort of reminds me of this weekend. Nothing is Free!! But I am digressing…
So, if you think you will have your privacy regained, you are being totally unrealistic or a dreamer. When your most trusted platform your Credit Bureau aka Equifax was hacked, when LinkedIn, when Home Depot, and the list goes on and on were hacked. When the word came out that the CIA and the FBI had all your information compiled, what makes you think that by signing these various forms your privacy will be protected?
As far as I am concerned your only opportunity is to accept what has happened and move on with your life. If you think I am wrong please share it here in your comments, just as if you agree with me😊!
BTW in the big picture I do not care, I have nothing to hide and as I mentioned to others if everyone knows when my Birthday is and everyone knows what Holidays I celebrate please feel free to send me “gifts” and I will be appreciative and will consider it as a “quid pro quo” for my privacy😊!!!!
BTW if you are interested the Equifax Breach effected 140+million people and the Facebook disregard has affected multi millions of people so it is too late to close the gates.
Now if it comes to selling your home let’s be real you do not want to keep it a secret, you want everyone to know what it looks like and how much it is for sale. Hence I will spread the word out all over the World Wide Web once we agree on the price and terms.
