@aral @noybeu it's virtually impossible that any big tech would actually delete someone's data entirely from their silos, IMHO. Technically they could. But it's way too much effort to implement (with no incentive or penalty), and even more complex to audit. Once there, it will always be there, in countless representations, structures, repositories...
That strategy seems to be working pretty well for training data too (their gain, everyone else's loss).

@reginaryerson @me I have the impression this is true regardless of the seniority, I'm afraid. I discuss these issues with friends from 30 to 50 and they seem unaware or, at best, unconcerned about this fact.

I think the best we can do is to equip the next generation. I try to address this issue with my 7yo, for example. This should definitively be a topic for educators and tutors.

@me ″Nowadays, many people are so used to doing what algorithms suggest that they can no longer make independent choices″ ... and unfortunately it is going to get increasingly worse.
