As per the saying, data is the new oil and tech giants are the relentless miners. At times even without the users consent, users are tracked and data is collected. According to the analysis of StockApps.com, data collections are quantified and the top data harvesters among the big tech are listed out. The list as expected is headed by Google. Twitter comes second followed by Amazon, Facebook(now Meta) and Apple.
Most of the people are so busy that they do not even have time to check or ready the privacy policies which are several pages long. This lack of time, patience and energy to check on what details the website they visit are storing and how they take advantage on it is exploited by these tech giants. As a result, users without their knowledge end up allowing Google to harvest all their data by agreeing to their policy terms. There is no surprise about Google topping the list. Twitter and Facebook stores more information than required. Apple is the only company is the list which stores only the relevant information.
