What do we lose behind unconscious clicks?

While technology brings social progress, it also allows our personal data to be leaked silently - social platforms and mobile apps use big data to understand our preferences and push advertisements for goods and services; telecommunications companies and banks directly sell personal data To third parties, promoting things that we don’t need at all; under the algorithm, the public is exposed to completely different news content and political information, so they each live in their own stratosphere...our personalities, interests, and whereabouts are even unknown to others. Are all the secrets of the world exposed to the eyes of some people through technology?

Carissa Véliz, associate professor at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, explores in depth the impact of technology and the data economy on privacy rights. How do they stimulate desires, influence thinking, influence decisions, and cause differential treatment and even social antagonism? Establishing awareness of protecting privacy is the first step to independence.

There has never been an era in which humanity has been fully penetrated by technology as it is today.

And privacy has become a high price for the convenience of life.
