It looks at how this practice affects privacy and digital rights, raising serious concerns about the ethical use of personal information. The article also reviews current laws like the GDPR and CCPA, which aim to protect data and privacy, while suggesting ways to defend digital rights through advocacy and technology. Ultimately, it emphasizes the need for stronger regulations to address the growing influence of surveillance capitalism.
