Yes, people give away their private data for small conveniences, much like how pets give away their natural lives in wilderness for a guaranteed meal and a warm house.

70,000 years ago people were running around in groups of 50-200 people killing mammoths. Private data has nothing to do with this, that’s only happened in the past 20 years and there isn’t a generation that has lived their whole lives with smartphones that are adults yet. We have no idea what effect they’ll have on evolution

What a bizarre comparison. Any animal would make the same 'choice'.
