Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    idk I mostly agree with you. Although, how do the insurance companies collect that information? I know there’s car insurance apps that sense how good your driving is, but other than that is it mostly just datamining of publicly available documents etc like those background check or people finder sites do?

      I worked in Canadian health benefits, everything you submit is data. Not just your SIN and address, but which drugs you’re on, which paramedicals you use, all that good stuff.

      When I signed up for life insurance they came and took my blood to run tests too, that’s pretty personal lol.

        at least you mostly know what data insurance companies get though, with tech its somewhere between all of your internet activity ever, and nothing because its too expensive.

        personally it seems worth it to me to avoid large tech companies simply because I have the time to deal with some lost convenience, and if they are storing everything then they will have less on me, and if they aren’t, well I’ve learned loads about IT, and its been kinda fun.
