https://theness.com/neurologicablog/privacy-in-a-digital-world/
Privacy is slipping into every corner of modern life, from websites and apps to our cars. Data brokers cash in on personal information, often hiding disclosures in long-term contracts. Cars now collect driving behaviour and even footage, sometimes without clear consent, and insurers may use it to raise rates. With AI, this data can reveal politics and beliefs, enabling targeted manipulation. Regulation hasn’t kept pace, leaving consumers overwhelmed and exposed. The author argues for universal opt-in data collection, transparency, and strict penalties, plus political action to fix a dysfunctional system and safeguard individual rights.
