    Yes they could. There have been cases of photosets being grabbed and used in training AI systems without the owners permission.

    I have now an intense preoccupation bordering obsession of being analysed

    Your right, it's called telemetry nowadays. Despite getting hefty fines some well known companies continue selling your data to 3rd parties. I guess is worth it.

    Theres a saying if this service is free YOU are the product, eg your data is the price you pay to use google, social media, youtube, etc only tech experts or journalists read privacy policys ,you can opt out, dont use apps, ,the tv series the prisoner was ahead of its time, about a society where everyone was monitored by camera.in the last 10 years people started using mobile apps, the modern smartphone is as powerful as a laptop , i dont think gen z thinks they have privacy , any convert or large social event is on social media .comp\nys have always collected data on customers its just that modern apps and social media makes it easy to track users 24/7

    It never happened on my other phone. I think when you download the whatsapp app you give them permission to record calls and texts.

    You can read about it on www.techdirt.com, most big tech companys are based in the usa or have local offices there.America has no basic user data privacy laws ,companys can sell user location data ,browsing data to advertisers or any small company that wants to acess the data ,if you want privacy don,t have a smartphone or install apps on it .its your choice ,most popular apps are free ,they make money by selling ads ,you,ll see different ads based on what country,city you are located in .Apple has a new privacy policy and the option to click do not allow user tracking on apps but this does not mean that apple does not allow advertisers to target ads at certain users .

    most people just want to use apps, tik tok, spotify , etc

    they do not bother trying to keep up with all the changes in app s regarding user data privacy

    Sinn Féin are advocating for an internet ID. It's ironic how Stalinist Sinn Féin want everyone to provide an internet ID when setting up an online account on social media in Ireland. Whistleblowers will suffer. Sinn Féin have a lot in common with Fine Gael's proposal for an Internet ID, big surprise.

    You should be more worried what the people in boards.ie know about you from your posts here than what google and the likes know

    Because google and the likes just see you as a number. They don’t care about you.

    And I’m not being completely facetious here. If you’re genuinely worried about stuff like this, don’t post on the internet
