Your phone is spying on you. Your apps are spying on you. Your websites, search engine, fitness tracker, smart watch, IoT device, EVERYTHING is collecting anything it can and sending it off to be stored, cross referenced, and sold.

Data is the new oil.

So what? I don’t care if Google knows I like motorcycles. By itself one data point isn’t a big deal but once you start bringing everything together…

Who are you talking to? When and how long did you talk to them? Where did you go? How often do you go there? On and on the profile starts to become overwhelmingly invasive.

Right now it is extremely cheap and easy to collect and store the data but it’s hard and expensive to cross reference and tabulate the data down to the individual. But in the extremely near future using AI and faster processors, data profiles created and being offered for sale go from white men between 25 – 30, with this education level, and background like XYZ

Will transform into -> John loves motorcycles and steak.

Suddenly your insurance premiums are way higher than your friends because you partake in dangerous activities and eat too much red meat. You get denied that loan because you invest in risky assets and it raises your risk factors to pay it back. That job that you applied to never responded because they already ran you through the algorithm and you don’t fit the company culture.

Protect your data and privacy now before its too late.

I realized the "I don't care about privacy" thing is a non-issue. We've all made a critical mistake. You don't get "privacy" .. you get "the right to privacy" or otherwise stated as "no arbitrary interference with his privacy". The thing is, whether you care about privacy is not the issue.

You *are* allowed to *not* care.

You are protected for *making your own decisions* for what is private for you, or otherwise stated no-one is just arbitrarily allowed to decide your matters aren't private. That's the right we need to protect. And anyone can choose whichever way suits them for every individual matter for themselves.

How do we take back what was lost? Is it too late?

Of course not. You don't have to burn your fingerprints off with acid and fake your own death. In our data rich, surveillance heavy world perfect privacy is probably not possible. The good news is it doesn't have to be perfect. You just have to decide what is important and work to keep that private.

I'm guilty of being involved in the legacy social media trend. However, I never felt comfortable with sharing every aspect of my life online. I inherently enjoyed the voyeuristic approach of just watching the idiots. The decentralized protocols like Nostr fit my personality perfectly. My main concern concern is all the previous data collected and the potential repercussions.

And, also, embrace the tools (software, hardware, legal/regulatory) that are given to you. If "what was lost" is absurd, take action but then you are most likely not alone.

Don't get gaslighted into thinking there is something wrong with you, if you *choose* whatever little thing you want to keep private. Even if it's just for the sake of setting a boundary, i.e. you have a box with candy and not telling them what candy's in the box. (Even if it's empty.) It often starts with little things.
