The #Volkswagen #geolocation leak is a great example of why I am such a Luddite when it comes to sharing data with companies. I use as few cloud services as possible (for example, with Apple, I only use the "Find My" service from iCloud).

Even if you make an informed decision to share your data with a company, the data can still leak by accident or through a system compromise. The unfortunate fact is that these days, many services are made difficult or even impossible to use without accepting excessive data sharing.
