On: Building and scaling Notion's data lake

[lopkeny12ko]

What's there to expand on? Do you not realize how bad of a look it is for a company to publicly admit, on their own blog, the amount of time and engineering effort they spent to package up, move, analyze, and sell all their customer's private data?

This is why laws like CCPA "do not sell my personal information" exist, which I certainly hope Notion is abiding by, otherwise they'll have lawyers knocking on their door soon.

Where do they say they sell it? Citation needed; that's a legal and reputational minefield that I don't think they would admit to, like you said.

I would challenge you to find any broker who sells data (like the T-Mobile location data scandal) who says plainly and clearly they sell user data.

This is not answering the question.

Right, yes, tone aside that’s very helpful- at first I didn’t understand the implication of the blog post for implementing customer hostile solutions, but you’ve helped me understand it now.
