FOOD FOR THOUGHT
“Not long ago, we would have bought services as important to us as mail and news. Now, however, we get all those services for free—and we pay with our personal data, which is spliced and diced and bought and sold. Those who aren’t bothered by that exchange should keep in mind that our data is used not just for advertisements. It has also been used to charge people different prices based on their personal information. It has been used to provide different search results to different people based on their political interests. It has been used by the government to identify possible criminal and terrorist suspects. If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product.”
