So by that logic you don't own your own data and therefore don't care about privacy.
If ownership didn't exist, the data wouldn't be valuable enough to collect. You couldn't sell it, because nobody would buy it, because they couldn't use it to sell anything, since they don't own anything either.
But that wasn't really the point I was trying to make. The real point I meant is that fake concepts can still be useful. Like the concept of ownership.
Ownership for me but not for thee!
