No.
| vivster said: Do you make sure you share as little as possible? |
As little as reasonably possible, yes. That's probably still a lot.
| vivster said: Do you use incognito mode or a VPN? |
A bit but for the most part no.
| vivster said: Is Big Data enriching your life? |
Probably more than I think, but I'll go with no anyway.
| vivster said: How did targeted ads murder your dog? |
That's a pretty loaded question. If you want a simple answer to a simple questions, they didn't.
| vivster said: Do you share your data only with specific entities or countries? |
No. This kind of seems like crossing the line of what takes reasonable effort.
| vivster said: What's your biggest fear when giving away data on the internet? |
Data can be quite powerful, and there are almost certainly countless ways to abuse my data somehow and I just can't think of them all. In general though, the fear is that adversary will get in possession of my data and use it in a way that's harmful to me. For example, if things go really, really badly, it could be a government I disagree with.
| vivster said: Do you actually think you are doing enough to protect your data? |
Certainly not, because using the internet would probably be a gigantic pain if I did.
| vivster said: What are your personal benefits of keeping all that data to yourself? |
It's not about what data I have - it's about any potential adversaries not having it. Also, your actions on the internet can speak a lot about you in a lof of ways, and I like my privacy - both online and in real life. I don't see why it would be any different online. After all, I don't invite cameras to my home just because it makes my life easier because something.
