The future we are headed towards if we don’t start caring about privacy and where we hand out our data.
Obviously Playstation has their own data, but stuff like this is gonna start being way more obvious in other places because they can so easily buy data on you through data brokers.
Websites you visit saying they share your data? Yes they sell it and it’s directly going to have an effect on other parts of your life just like this.
So you won’t just “pay with your data”, you’ll pay with your money too in a less direct way (prices on other sites shooting up because x website sold your data to y and they know you need this product so they price gouge you).
Not only will this occur for gaming stores or web shops, it can become a thing in banking (maybe they give you a worse interest rate on a loan, etc) and worse.

Get more active, get other people active too, and teach them the importance of it
Credit scores are already how banks discriminate. That system is already in place.
True, but that won’t stop them from acquiring more data so they can squeeze more out of you.
Anything to make them more.
Maybe my examples would’ve been better for other industries, but yeah, I think this will happen everywhere if we don’t stop it.
