Cars have gps built in even if you don’t use the onboard navigation. For some odd reason you care goes to a particular club / establishment every Thursday and stays parked there for 2.75 to 3.5hrs each time. If I took all the data your car’s gps collected, I bet I could make some pretty good inferences about you. Even if they’re wrong but roughly accurate, I could still sell it.

Now imagine something associated with where you’re going suddenly becomes illegal or target activity. Now you’re on a cool new government list.

Heck let’s go one step further. The location you frequent gets associated with pro Israel or pro Palestine. And since all companies are perfectly with safeguarding data, somehow has a breach. Now a true wackadoodle has this and your home location. What could possibly go wrong here? All actions and dialogue around this topic have been perfectly mannered and civil </s>. You might not even have a clue that your now associates with something to which you had no awareness or affiliation.

All of these scenarios go away if they didn’t harvest data.

Agreed, and that’s the hard part. Finding and promoting good and right while removing greed. Oversight is needed, but doesn’t this feel a bit like the wolf watching the sheep?

The system isn’t completely broken, but it has glaring issues. Transparency and accountability is missing. Rules for thee and me need to match with equity.

“Good”, “right”, and “fair” seem to be dying in society.

We can only be our own little light in a sea of darkness…maybe with a little luck we can make the world a little brighter.

May I suggest a rule of “don’t game the system”.

It helps avoid situations where people think they’re clever but also deliberately skirt the rules.

I.e., people make mistakes, and that’s ok. Willful disregard is another beast.

It would seem they have a conflict of interest. Choosing life or death for someone where not providing care would be less costly. Morality = \ = legality.

It would seem to make sense to allow the doctors to be advocates for their patients, but I get that oversight is needed too. It’s not an easy situation to solve. There are clearly glaring issues in the current system.

In case it’s unclear murder is wrong if done by 1 person or a collective entity through an indirect series of actions.
