When it comes to "free" services/products, where do you draw the line on how your personal data/activity is used/monetized? (sh.itjust.works)

Edited to clarify.

Things to consider: How much of your data would you be comfortable letting Lemmy sell vs Reddit? If Zuck treated users better, would you be more accepting of Meta monetizing your data every way possible? When it comes to using something for free (tangible or intangible) do you accept a company selling your personal information if their practices align with what you feel is fair?

It's totally unclear what you're asking about. Can you write another paragraph with details or examples? What kinds of free services or products do you mean? What kinds of personal data are you talking about?

We don't even know if you're talking about something physical or digital, for example.

Sorry. Maybe this will help...
