i hoped it would become a lame excuse after the way all the things involving Facebook, Cambridge analytica and other big companies and their misuse of user data got wide coverage the past years. but no... apparently not.

everyone saves all the data they can and more. that is the best thing to assume these days.

Umm, if you use alternative you can always avoid that. Instead of gmail use protonmail, instead of twitter use mastodon, facebook can be tossed off, using telegram, signal instead of whatsapp and other platform like messenger. If you toss of privacy that's your choice, but don't lable it as "excuse" to forget about it, and prevent people from taking these measures when they definitely can.
