What’s the opposite of virtue signaling?

Best way to fight against this is to make sure CFR percentages discussed publicly are never stratified by age. Make sure people are more afraid of COVID than they are of systematic people-tracking technology which, before COVID, everybody accepted as a valid concern.
-
Again, this person will give any and all info to an unknown private data collector just to find out what cartoon character he is.
Not to mention he’s on Facebook to begin with.
-
Of course they are.
This isn’t someone who didn’t want to download the app. It’s someone that doesn’t want the health department to know about his presence in a particular person’s contact list.
-
Maybe the health department could agree to tell him what historical figure he was in a past life. That might be sufficient compensation.
-
So this person also saw it from someone else and copied and shared and passed on.
He probably also sent something that says this is a test if you read something without an image....
Seems like a well trained Facebooker. Consents to all Facebook sniffing but opts out of random political stuff. Btw it won’t work.
-
Indeed. It seems obvious this persons motivations come from rank magatry rather than privacy concerns. At least if you watch what he does rather than what he says.
-
I suppose that may be the case. I don't associate politics with privacy concerns generally. I've seen plenty of folk on the left who care about that sort of thing - though these days their tribe may prevent them from voicing those concerns, especially regarding COVID tracking.
-
I concede one could have privacy concerns around contact tracing.
But again, this is not only a person who has opted out of contact tracing. They are asking not to be listed as an acquaintance of anyone who hasn't opted out of it.
While on Facebook.
While taking a pause from participating in data collection exercises led by god-knows-who, all for the payoff of knowing what his child's name really means.

It already didn't work. I downloaded his state's contract tracing app and uploaded his information into it.

I have no problem with someone having a beef with Facebook but I’m not lifting a finger otherwise. Anyway I read the point as rhetorical.
And I get the contact tracing thing but I’m not putting other peoples monkeys on my back.

The particular account I copied this from is a guy who regularly does those stupid ‘Nametest’ and ‘OMG’ data harvesting quizzes that ask a dozen personal questions and then tell you what your spirit animal is or whatever.
Ignorance of technology and what you've already forfeit years ago by being on Facebook. Privacy settings don't do anything in that regard and I'm surprised how many don't know that.

That’s funny.
