[..] the algorithm goes into the business of selling things to us while selling our attention to others. At that point something more profound kicks in which gives the algorithm's owners immense power-to predict our behaviour, to guide our preferences, to influence our decisions, to change our minds, to thereby reduce us yo their unpaid servants, whose job is to provide our information, our attention, our identity and above all the patterns of behaviour that train their algorithms."

You are a citizen, and you are owed privacy. It's your right.
Privacy is how we blind the system so that it treats us impartiality and fairly. It's how we empower our citizenry. It's how we protect individuals, institutions, and societies from external pressures and abuse. It's how we mark out a space for ourselves in which we can freely relax, bond with others, explore new ideas, and make up our own minds."
