Right, I understand that you don’t care to deepen the conversation on Sync, but in the interest of mutual understanding, I’d like to point out how different our perspectives are.
I’m not scared of it being completely transparent – to be honest, I have not informed myself about Sync’s policies at all – because I consider it virtually impossible to create this transparency.
Companies will lose track of their data, even if they’ve created that data themselves.
Software engineers are put under constant pressure to deliver features with security measures usually not being a requirement.
Data processing pipelines frequently exceed the complexity that a single human can keep in their head. If those ads are from Google, it does so thousandfold.
Chances are, this data is being correlated by AI. Literally no one knows, how a specific AI system makes correlations.
All of these aspects can have an impact on user privacy. If there’s not a single person in a given company who has transparency on all of this, it’s just not a thing that a user will have this transparency.
