What harm does public data have to you? Couldn't one just ignore the ads? You can't see anyone watching you, is public data good for public records? (I'm just curious). I know this sounds weird but is public data good for historical preservation and knowledge increasing the importance of the individual? And does public data lead to better products?

Thanks, Confetti, our service unfortunately doesn't agree so we know specifically what you jack off to and we're sending that to Walmart because they know that people who jack off to the same things you do also really like Tide® Brand Detergent. When you bought your Home SecuriCam you did consent to being recorded (it says inside of the box that by opening the box you consented to said recording) so we're taking all of that data. We've let our closest 903 partners know that you seem to be developing some chafing, so you're welcome for that we've already added itch cream to your Amazon shopping list. We also noticed that you have a small mole under the left buttock, and based on data we've collected from our leading system, so we've passed that on to our partners at InsuriCorp (an eCorp subsidiary) who've declined to continue your coverage. Our AI has also decided that the footage you've provided voluntarily will make for an excellent education campaign, so ads showing your face and ass will be shown on major metros round the clock, with a slight disclaimer that we definitely don't endorse the material you jack off to.
