Of course it's not a likeable take, but it's a grounded one. And it's exactly the reason why companies don't care about climate change either.

Climate change is a terrible analogy because:

a) everyone is impacted by climate change, not just the customers who gave their data

b) climate change has very real consequences for people

How does this explain that it's a bad analogy? Both of these are true and can apply to both.

Read up on the SSN leak from last week, I didn't give them my data. And it can have real consequences.
