Re: And that's exactly why...
I don't do Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Snapchat and App bullcrap !
It's all about slurping people's data...
Sorry, but my privacy is worth a lot more to me than that !
Mine too, but the problem is ots and lots of people know things about me that they store in the contacts section of their phone, which they then allow all and sundry to slurp data from. I have no control.
My plan to fight back is to wait for the GDPR and then write to the largest slurpers insisting that they delete everything they know about me, whoever they obtained the data from. They'll argue against it, which will make an interesting test case, which I expect them to lose.
What we really need is an amendment to the GDPR such that they can only obtain data from a user about that user - no more grabbing their contacts.
