Well… that data was not in safe hands in the beginning considering facts that the whole company has very close ties to Alphabet and Google.
Your comment implies that they get hacked all the time - which they don't.
But I see what you're saying, since they themselves sell your data.
Yes, that is what I meant. Google/Alphabet are companies living off selling personal data. That is a big no no no no nooo.
