dbt job: "Can't parse a JSON blob, I'm out."

me: *looks for a needle in the 100M-row haystack*

me: "Aha! This looks fine? Guess I'll paste it in a text editor to double check."

text editor: "Uh, boss"

me: "Is that...is that a tiny red 'BS'?"

BS broke my data. I can't make this shit up.

It's not just "what are they doing with our data?" or "what could they do?"

It's also: "even if compelled to delete our data, would they know how?"

(How many companies maintain the proper data governance/documentation/discipline to support a deletion order? Very few, I'd wager.)
Also the most data privacy-focused folks I know are the ones who work in AI/ML/data science/whatever we're calling it this week.

Basically: The more you know, the more likely you are to realize privacy is important.
Every single tech person I have ever known is obsessively careful about protecting their own data and privacy. People that work for the companies that manipulate us into giving up our data KNOW the consequences. But data is money. That’s why they’re angry we now know what they know.
