main points: - fatalistic attitude over level of control of their data - younger americans are more likely to feel like they benefit from data collection - older americans feel like they have less control but also think it's more acceptable for law enforcement to use genetic data - black americans 3x as likely as white americans to believe govt is tracking their online activities
