    Privacy is not paid for. Privacy is taken. it is something that only you can achieve for yourself. paying ransom money will do little

    Even if you pay them, your privacy is gone. Any part of you placed in someone else’s hands makes privacy a joke

    Is € 251.88 the estimated loss in revenue? I would like to say that it only makes sense if you assume the user will be on the platform either way, instead of just not paying and leaving. However, my experience with others makes me believe they will take whatever option to get to what they want.

    I think it’s a situation for policy but, at least here in the US, our policy makers aren’t in the ethical or learned position to be effective.

    What I’m saying is, the boat has holes and I’m concerned.

    Just avoid using them. Expecting free services without giving out anything is naive.
