Hungry For Data

Zoom, the company famous for making virtual meetings in your PJs normal, got caught in a data frenzy.

They tried to sneak in new terms letting them gobble up your voice, video, and more for AI training.

People got mad, and Zoom did a U-turn, promising not to chew on your data without asking first.

This mess reflects a bigger issue - companies crave data like a bottomless pit.

Tech companies go wild collecting data and building products from it, like DALL-E 2 and ChatGPT.

Plus, America lacks solid privacy laws, leaving us more exposed to data parasites.

New laws might help, but for now, we've got to raise a fuss [like with Zoom] to curb data feasting.

As cool tech typically sprouts from sketchy data, we really have to guard our digital lives in a data-crazed world.
