OK I get the Nihilistic view and that yes in the end nothing matters. But your data right now is being used to subvert and manipulate millions of people through Cambridge Analytica, your data right now was probably used to train bots who are spreading misinformation, and in future who knows maybe we will have a Terminators trained on Johanny Jacobs' data.
OK last one might not happen, but even if you're dead your data can and will be used to train and build stuff that you yourself consider to be morally wrong
Thats why i'm mindfull about my data :) But not to the point that i worry about it constantly, or that i dont do or say stuff "because.. data" if you know what i mean :)
