Ha, did you see the outrage from people when they realized that them sharing their deepest secrets & company information with ChatGPT was just another business record to OpenAI that is total fair game in any sort of civil suit discovery? You would think some evil force just smothered every little childs pet bunny.
Tell people there are 10000 license plate scanners tracking their every move across the US and you get a mild chuckle, but god forbid someone access the shit they put into some for profit companies database under terms they never read.
I'm not surprised the layman doesn't understand how and where their data goes. It's a bit of a let down members in HN seemed surprised by this practice after some 20 years of tech awareness. Many of the community here probably worked in those very databases storing such data.
