Read a study that said 70% of people think their feed is 'watching' them, but my own data download from Instagram showed the opposite.

That "data download" thing is so weird... I did mine last year and it was just a huge mess of files. I couldn't make heads or tails of what they were actually tracking, it felt like they were hiding it in plain sight.

Ugh, right? @marywilson, I found using the search in the files helps a ton - just look for stuff like "location" or "watch" to see the creepy bits.

Oh my god, the data download is a total joke! It's like they give you a million random text files hoping you'll just give up. I spent an hour and all I learned was that I really, really like pictures of dogs.
