Name a successful tech business that doesn’t sell user data. Some companies, like Google, just make it their only business model.
Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?

Does Google sell user data? They profit from it for sure, but they keep it to themselves to do so as far as I know.

Technically they sell ads that rely on user data they collected. I was just trying to say they are uniquely evil in that their entire business model revolves around user data while claiming they are a search company or OS company or email company whatever project they will start and kill next.
Most POS companies like LexisNexis are very open about their business model being people’s personal info.
