T&C may Apply movie
- Thread starter Phage
- Start date
Well I can't sell it myself, so I may as well give it away to get some services.
I have some knowledge of where and what is known about me. Google allows me to check what they think, Facebook know everything I post and click like about, and you can only assume governments know both.
How much would you pay per year to access gmail, google search, calendar and other services?

Not that much. The estimated value of your clicks alone is USD500 per year.
The following is satire, but like all good comedy, has a recognisable basis in truth.

I would probably pay more than that tbh, search is an incredibly valuable service.
I've being playing a bit of devils advocate, I am a big advocate of privacy. I was just trying to allude to that fact that there is no other way to monetise your personal data.
There is no way to sell your personal information.
There is no way to charge companies who profit from it.
There has been no viable proposed alternative way of funding companies such as Google and Facebook.
People like Jaron Lanier have long stated that individuals should regain control of their data and sell it instead of giving it away, but there is yet to be any proposed model in which to do so.
Until that is the case, I'm happy to give it away in exchange for services that I find valuable.
The whole T&C's thing is hardly new either. We've had basic law systems in place in the UK since atleast 700AD in the form of the Celtic law codes. I'd be willing to bet that no-one read them fully either.
"If stung by another man’s bee, one must calculate the extent of the injury, but also, if one swatted it in the process, subtract the replacement value of the bee."
Yup. Just a couple of questions. </colombo>
Why should it be necessary to monetise private data ? We have a free market system.
You, and this forum, are amongst the most educated in the world. Do you think everyone else is making such a well-informed decision ?
T&Cs of the obfuscated nature we have today are relatively new. I doubt the Celts couldn even read.
None of this is illegal, it's the power differential between the two parties of the contract. In fact, most kids would hardly be aware of any click-throughs, they seem to be just a mental blink in the way to the service. There is no consideration of what they're actually agreeing to. Anything that actually makes people stop, consider and then decide if the service is worth the price is a good thing surely ?

I suspect that I'm like the majority of people - I value privacy, but privacy to me means no one looking in the windows of my house, or knowing how much I get paid or how much I have in the bank. I don't really care (rightly or wrongly) wherher companies know my browsing habits or what I post on Facebook because I don't see that as private.
So the NSA read my emails - they're not very interesting and I don't care that they did. So google are putting together my browsing habits and my Facebook info to build a profile on me - why should I care ? I care if my bank account details are stolen or my house is broken in to. I don't care if a web company has a dossier on me to serve more targeted ads. I really don't.
YMMV, but I suspect many more people are like me than you.

Wouldn't happen, not least because if it was pertinent than the insurance company would ask specifically about the condition and not disclosing it would invalidate the insurance. Insurance companies need to be sure the information relates directly to the person.
A more likely scenario relates to data sharing between insurance companies and medical providers on non-medical related insurances. Nothing to do with browsing history etc.
