In today’s digital world, our personal data is being collected, stored and sold more than ever before. Every time we scroll through social media, shop online or even just browse the web, we leave behind a trail of information that companies and governments are eager to collect and use.
Data privacy has become a more serious concern than people may realize, and it’s high time we start looking into this.
Corporations like Facebook, Google and Amazon gather enormous amounts of data from us. They know our interests, habits and far more. Yet, most of us have no clue how this data is being used or who’s accessing it.
A major concern is that this data is often sold to third parties — without our informed consent — leading to the manipulation of our online experiences and even our real-world choices.
