Should the government impose stricter regulations on the collection and use of personal data by companies?

Absolutely not, we should not embrace the idea that humans have to be afraid to be themselves. There are caveats to this like 4Chan or the dark web, where we need to protect other citizens from the attacks and bullying of people on these "anonymous" sites.

I say somewhat be stricter since its easier for someone to get hacked but keep some things jus because companies use it to tell whos who.

Mabey ther is a comprimise like using the data the way it is, but limit what they only need to see through to their advertisements.

Yes. The collection of personal data on a person should benefit the person it is collected on. The company should be required to pay the individuals for their information.

No, and they should also reverse laws that cap payments for liability. Firms that violate consumer trust should be punished by consumers without artificial protections from government.

Yes, and the public should be given compensation when and if their data is used, in lieu of consent.

Yes, by providing mandatory default anonymity online, and by allowing consumers to opt-in & opt-out of data collection at will; companies found in violation have their entire data collection systems (and the data itself) forfeited directly to the United States National Reconnaissance Office.

Yes they should stop it and they should stop collecting our private info themselves as Edward Snowden proved they were, and no doubt still are, doing

Yes, but only when it comes to that data being used by foreign entities or in a way that violates individual rights.

Yes, and they should revise the way a privacy policy is written to the point is easily understandable and can be read in a short amount of time.

Well we do want to keep the population safe from billionaire predators violating their privacy and then selling it to no good sources and other predators the government shouldn't be trusted to look at data either.

If its not something you are mandated to use then no, the person themselves choose to use it despite the risks.

They should be required to maintain all data and turn it over when law enforcement requires it.

Yes, they should be required to ask permission before doing it. If the person says no they should ntot be allowed to collect any information without their permission.

Yes, and the government should also stop collecting all of our data too.

The collection of personal data is encouraged by the government so it can be given to the 3 letter agencies

The government needs to stop spying on me as much before it can tell companies to stop

No, but companies that collect user data should share truthful reasonings behind why data is being collected.

Yes but in the sense that they educate people more on what the company is gathering so there are less nieve people and people can choose wether to or not

Yes, but only if it doesn't say that the company is collecting data at the beginning.

Yes, every citizen of the United States should have the right to privacy, which shall include the protection of personal information, freedom from unwarranted surveillance, and autonomy over personal decisions.

Yes, but only if there is a creation of a non-partisan department that regulates all companies that are based in the United States of America including Meta, Amazon, Google, Discord, etc.

yes. lots of data is stolen yearly, I'm sure the number is even higher than the hundreds of thousands at this point.

Yes, business companies shouldn’t be spying on workers or using personal data to take advantage of them

No, but private companies that collect data from users should have to answer to the reasoning behind the collection of user data.

Yes, but only if it interferes with national security

Yes I agree there should be regulations but not too the point of burdening technological innovation.

All companies should act in humanity’s best interest, not in their evil fascist goals

Yes, as long as it doesn't effect the majority harmfully.

yes, companies should not be using our personal data

Yes, there is no reason that social platforms need all of the information that they collect already. Being honest about what exactly it is they are collecting and how they are getting the information would make millions of consumers happier.

No, but end the collusion of big business and government so that free-market competition can pressure these corporations to voluntarily execute these reforms.

Yes, and the government should not collect personal data either
