Summary
Privacy seems to belong to the past. The dating website OkCupid asks its users whether they occasionally use illegal drugs, selling that information in real time to marketers. Commercial data brokers hold thousands of data points about individuals. The problem concerns not only apps and websites but also the “Internet of Things” (IoT) that increasingly surrounds us. In The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Shoshana Zuboff cites the example of a bed that uses “smart technology” to capture data on “heart rate, breathing and movement,” allegedly to improve the quality of sleep.
