DECEMBER 26, 2019: Sixty-three percent (63%) of American adults say it’s impossible to go through daily life without government agencies collecting data on them. A Pew Research study found that 62% say you can’t get through the day without companies doing the same.[1] ([link removed])
Most don’t see much value in all that data collection. “Roughly three-quarters of adults say they benefit very little or none from the data that companies (72%) or the government (76%) collect about them.” Solid majorities believe the risks of all that data collection outweigh the benefits.[1] ([link removed])
