The Power of Privacy. Why It Is Necessary to Have Control Over Your Personal Data

As the collection of personal data gains momentum and its use increases in power, author Carissa Veliz shows how large companies and governments violate our privacy, the boundaries of personal data, why this is important, and what we can and... should do about it. When you turn off the alarm on your phone early in the morning, a whole range of organizations and companies immediately learns when you wake up, where you slept, and who is nearby. By checking the weather, scrolling through your social media feed, browsing your friends' "recommendations" - each of these actions puts your personal data privacy at risk.
