Re: Creepy Windows 10 surveillance
I think for most people it's not a question of corporate control, but government control. Tech and software companies don't run the risk of actively undermining or circumventing your rights as a person, they just want more money. If mining your data makes their bottom line longer and there's nothing to prevent them from doing so, they'll do it. And since you're technically not forced to use their apps or technology, and since you agreed to all of what they're doing when you signed up to their service, it's your problem in their point of view. Where things get far more problematic is if state governments get free passes to all of your data, and if they somehow acquire the power to forbid you from doing certain things based on that data. That's what's happened in China, and now that these systems are in place over there, there isn't much that will put a stop to it. If you live in China you can't choose to just opt out of the social credit system. You're a citizen, so you have to use it. You can opt out, or flattly refuse to sign up to, things like Facebook or Amazon.
