What's Going On With Your Data | Untangled

Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and other tech companies have a ton of our data. We give up a lot of our privacy to use their services. But we don't always know how well that data is protected or which 3rd parties have access to it. Data breaches like Collection #1 or attacks like the T-Mobile hack happen way too frequently. And companies like Facebook have been criticized for uploading user data without permission. What's going on with your data and how can you maintain your privacy online?

My data is being stolen by Tech Insider

[CountDain]

I'm not that afraid of hackers. I'm much more concerned with the company itself if they can be trusted or not like Facebook and Google .

[SoumyadeepBanerjee]

I don't use Facebook anymore and Switch to Linux from Windows 10

[aquafina]

This is why I NEVER EVER USE MY REAL INFO ON ANY SOCIAL SITES!

[moisetawes]

Me: Puts Lotion Away and turns off incognito mode.

[thebigsad]

Me: Turns incognito mode
FBI: *Excuse me wtf?*

[AdmiralFroggy]

Step one, don't have a social media account. Unfortunately YouTube counts as one 😅

[ninjanerdstudent]

Well, I don’t have any critical data stored in social media, there is no relevant data in any of those sites because I never put it there.

[science]

Hacks or ( sold data ) is probably from old media competition, established media TV radio news paper

[bradenboyko]

It’s all good until one pass gets hacked 🤣

[YungKado]

Be aware that even the Password Management sites can get hacked, I usually just keep my random passwords in my phone’s notes app until I memorize it, I also never let my notes go to iCloud! 😂😂 The paranoia is too real... 😆

[eddiethehead]

I clicked on this video from my subscription feeds. And irony is I was shown an ad of F8 2019 in which Mark F*ckerberg appears and says I see the future is all about privacy and that Facebook ensures all its users' security 🤐

[filip]

Best thing to do is to write ALL your passwords on a piece of paper, because it can't get hacked and it can be burned if necessary!!

[Poly_Shannon]

Hackers are the guys who failed to leak exam papers & now taking revenge on all.

[gavinhelgeson]

The thing is, no one really cares about their “data”

[WaterWids]

The problem with programms like "north VPN" is, that they also have trackers implemented in their code. So u aren't "that" invisible using those VPN suppliers

[thebigsad]

I wonder what the USA government don't know about me

[whyareyourunning]

Is it legal for them to do it? Since we all know what they’re doing with our data, why don’t the authorities take actions yet?

[michaelbujaki]

Has your password been hacked? Give us your password and we'll check.

How stupid to they think I am?
