Amazon are just using their competitive advantage. The world has changed, potentially through the introduction of Amazon, whereby consumers now want cheap products, now! Amazon can do that. People who are shopping for the first product they see don't have any brand affiliation and therefore it makes sense. If I loved a particular brand of coffee I would seek them out on Amazon.

Amazon are using their platform to cover off those customers who are neutral in their brand preference.

I find that the phone creates a version of the picture that it thinks is best, probably to look good on social media. Where as a DSLR has the functionality to make manual adjustments to create a photo to your own specs. Sometimes having a photos with high/low exposure, or grainy effects created authentically via DSLR are preferred.

For example the Patriots Act in USA, signed into law after 9/11 attacks. The sunset was in 2005, but it's still in force.

Agreed. can we just live in a world where we can have a little bit of privacy. I'm OK using a card to pay for a journey, if that means it takes me a few seconds longer to take it out of my wallet.

Alot of this kind of technology is implemented without your consent, take facial recognition in airports. You have to go through the process with no easy alternative.

The comment 'if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about' is so old and such a weak argument. People have fought for years to defend the freedoms of people and it is being thrown away and disregarded by corporations and governments.

Agreed. Black cabbies have had it good for such a long time, cash in hand, monopolising the taxi business in London . I got in a cab booked using a taxi version app and the driver complained about paying % fee to the app and only getting paid once a month. Welcome to the rest of the world where people pay taxes and only get paid at the end of every month.

There's no incentive to give away your data. A large financial incentive would be nice!
