I don’t get why companies pull such shady crap to get behavior data. 99% of it is useless and never even is used to make improvements to products or processes.
Clearly it isn’t so useless, or they wouldn’t do it.
More to the point, the company using shady means to collect the data does not need to care if the data is useful, just that it’s marketable.
It’s like grifting, but also a pyramid scheme.
A lot gets used. A lot doesn’t. The technology is designed with trust in mind that it won’t be abused. It completely is. We should really be redesigning protocols to not be intrusive. A lot of information is given that is no longer needed to be functional.
