Thank You!
So I guess it depends upon what regrets are you happy to live with.
I think this explains my case clearly, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18432085
> I will close my account. And here lies the issue. Just you closing the account doesn't work. Your friends, your family, others you talk to on whatsapp shall also migrate. And that's the biggest issue.
I don't know about chromeos in general, I was specifically talking about the newly announced pixel slate. The hardware seems promising, not sure about the software.
especially since it can run linux apps. But, their ui was pretty laggy in the recent demos. You can't beat iOS in UI smoothness.

Edit: grammar

You make a very compelling argument. I'm also wondering, that yes, currently our interests are aligned (privacy intrusion for value), what if they're no longer aligned?, Or what if they're compromised? Well, I'm screwed then (as others have outlined).

2. I'm wondering (as others have outlined) that, granted they do give me value today at the risk of my privacy, but what about the future, what if there motives change, that can affect me in insidious ways.

Interesting. Where can I learn about this (history)?

Thanks!

Thanks! will do.

I get that. I really do. I'm just worried about how it might affect me (and my loved ones) in the near future.

1. No I don't trust these companies! 2. They probably have a data on me (somewhere in there dozens of huge data warehouses) 3. Google/Facebook could probably do that (knowingly or unknowingly is the question) 4. Google hasn't been breached because 1. there entire business model relies on data, 2. they maybe willingly giving the data to governments (off course respective citizens, not other countries data) 5. I realise that. I just, uh, it's just difficult to comprehend the subject, let alone the consequences

But, here's the thing, I don't know what I'm giving away (or selling) and what repercussions it can have on me. With free speech (and other human rights) I can exactly see what it means to have it as a human right. With Privacy, that line becomes hazy and I'm trying to make it clearer. makes sense?
Re:Ask HN: I'm not motivated enough to take privacy seriously on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @02:16PM (#18068961)
Exactly! Also, where do we draw a line between private and public? Especially when you don't know weather the digital records of you today can be abused in the future. Like where should I draw this line and say, "yep this shouldn't be here". And even If I draw this line, what about my other loved ones? they have to be onboard on this too, otherwise this can all be futile. It's just such a huge topic and we don't really know what will happen in the future (except in china, man that's scary). And this may be the reason why there are people who don't care about it all, or people who are really paranoid, and somewhere in the middle who just don't know what to do.
Re:Ask HN: I'm not motivated enough to take privacy seriously on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @02:09PM (#18068904)
Something that'll happen in the future is harder to make it tangible (that china `credit score` thing was way scary though). Also, it's difficult to figure out like what should and shouldn't be exposed on the internet. And, regarding the loved ones, everyone needs to be on this thing together to make it work. For example like, I try to be privacy conscious, while my friend exposes everything about me on say Facebook doesn't really help me.
Re:Ask HN: I'm not motivated enough to take privacy seriously on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @01:59PM (#18068794)
Ok, this makes it more, uh, tangible I guess. This is scary!
Re:Ask HN: I'm not motivated enough to take privacy seriously on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @01:48PM (#18068680)
Ok, pricing thing is scary. 1. Interesting 2. I've it installed already 3. How does vpn help? 4. Does having safari, help? 5. I use safari as default. does that work? 6. I don't use FB, Twitter. Only Youtube, Gmail

I see all this posts about Google (with it's massive services), Twitter, Instagram, [any other sites], collecting data and building a profile of you to serve you personalised ads and maybe other stuff. I understand that. But, apparently not enough! as I can't seem to leave the convenience of it. Maybe it's because it isn't tangible?; as in I can't visualise how all this will affect my day to...

THIS. For mere $6 I can have 1.5GB of data everyday for 84 days. Not to mention unlimited calls and 100 messages/day.

Edit: Also, they have free services like Cinema, TV, Music, Cloud, etc all included with that $6 plan.
