I noticed that you conveniently avoided commenting on your
un-private online profile (CC, doctor, bank, phone, etc etc.).
Understood.

Your argument is absurd for two reasons that should have been
obvious. 1. You're comparing the utility of a doctor bank and CC to a
Samsung app? (that's preposterous)

Nope. I just said your life is already online and available to hacks
if you use those things.

2. You're assuming I have a CC on my phone, a banking app on my
phone, a credit card on my phone, etc.). I do not. Nor on the
Internet.

Nope. Your phone has nothing to do with it. If you use the above
services, phone or no phone, your life is online and available to hacks.

If someone wants to hack into that information, they'll have to get
it directly from my doctor,

My doctors use 3rd party online sites to carry on business where I can
make appointments, see diagnosis, pay co-pays, communicate with their
offices, etc. Unless you're seeing country hicks I'll bet yours do too.

So I get it that you're butt hurt that I said you aren't thinking.

Using insults instead of facts and logic is a show of poor thinking.

But comparing the utility of a Samsung Account to a Doctor's Visit is
 not going to impress me that you're making good decisions. It's just
not.

No doctor's visits were mentioned. Only doctor's (and other services)
online records

Give me an argument that makes sense and I'm all ears.

I did.

In my case it was mainly a Samsung tablet pop-up stopper with the
added advantage of having the Samsung app store made available. As
to privacy, AJL has never complained about its loss to me...

OK. I still maintain that if you can find something inside the
Samsung Account that is worth the loss of privacy, I'd be all ears if
it made sense (as I asked the same question the first time I got a
Samsung years ago).

I explained my reason for opening a fake Samsung account last time.
Reread my answer 2 paragraphs above. As to any privacy paranoia, YMMV...
