Why We Should End the Data Economy

The data economy depends on violating our right to privacy on a massive scale, collecting as much personal data as possible for profit.
You may think to yourself: “I’ve done nothing wrong, so I have nothing to worry about, nothing to fear.” You’re wrong. Does everyone who can access your data have your best interests at heart?
Of course not. That’s why you keep your credit card number to yourself, and why you have a lock on the entrance to your home. If you don’t go around giving your email account password to strangers, then you shouldn’t go around giving away your personal data.
The more companies know about you, the more power they have over you.
