Companies should treat user data as toxic waste rather than as something they want to gather and hoard for business models like targeted advertising. It's not a good thing to have a bunch of sensitive data which could be obtained by adversaries or requested by a government.

@MattMerk I have to admit it's a new word to me, but the concept made sense enough to be able to google-fu through it :)
My reading is more consume-consume-consume and analysing the contents rather than analyse the writer's methodology and structuring
@MattMerk multiperspectivity?
