I made that up…“data-creep” just feels right because damn, it’s creepy! Like, “Yelp data-creeped me all night long and didn’t buy me dinner first!” Or, “I thought me and Door-Dash were just friends but then I found out it was data-creeping me several times a day when it thought I wasn’t looking. And I’m like, ‘Dude, I’m just not that into you. I thought we had a good thing going but then you had to go and make it weird. Guess I’m getting my own takeout food now.’”
You have to love that we literally pay for them to steal data from us. My mother’s phone settings were all out of whack a few months back. She was sending all sorts of data from apps & even from Safari constantly & sucking up huge amounts of her data plan like she never had previously. I had to go through & change a lot of her permissions & settings. Now I want to change even more settings for her after the data detox!
