> data collection needs.

There are no "data collection needs" there are "data collection wants". If they asked, people would say no. To pour so much effort into manipulating people into letting themselves be monitoring and just tracking people without their consent is straight up abusive.

They asked "Hey can I have this data about you?"

We said "We´d actually rather you didn´t."

End of discussion. This is not complicated concept. Informed consent is not a complex theory, it´s possible for a class of 2nd graders to grasp it.

I don´t need new and improved ways for this dystopian garbage to be more convenient to me.

I need it so stop.
