The Growing Threat to Personal Privacy: How Data Collection Has Escalated Beyond Public Awareness

Most people do not know how much of their lives is being quietly collected, cross-linked, sold, scored, and stored.

Companies can scrape your movements, habits, devices, family, purchases, and routines until they can predict where you go, who you know, what you fear, and what you might do next.

It's gone from merely name and city being publicly available to a shadow profile of a plethora of your data, to an extent one cannot comprehend.
