Imagine you stated online that you don't like the fact that your Uber ride data is being sold to Facebook. Then imagine someone said, "If you don't like theZuck or Googs knowing where whereabouts and who you are visiting, just walk when you need to go somewhere." Hopefully you'll realize why you are being down-voted.
Just because you think it is okay to continue to feed the beast is not my issue. I can spare the -4 points to engage the discussion.
I also don't use Uber because I don't support their history even if they might no longer behave that way now. You don't have to walk just because you don't use Uber. There are other ways to get around. The fact that you feel this way just means to me that you've drunk too much of the Kool-aid.
Society has become lazy/complacent with the status quo, and does not want to put forth the effort to fight for the rights that they so freely complain about on web forums. Yes, things can be more convenient if you are willing to accept the true costs. Things can be more difficult when you choose to not accept the true costs. Just because they are more difficult does not mean it is impossible.
Your reply is not only a non sequitur, the claims you make about me are factually wrong. I have never had a facebook account, nor instagram, nor twitter, and I've never taken an uber. But you claim I've overdosed on the kool-aid.
My point was you are very cavalier about how easy it is for people avoid what is structurally difficult to avoid. For instance, rather than going to the website to look up information, one should go to the hospital and ask someone in person.
You should also have some empathy for people who have no idea that a hospital might sell their information.
