1. What are some of the dangers of having our private information collected?
2. When we use services like Gmail, Facebook, etc., we are exchanging our privacy and personal information for "free" access to services. Is this a fair exchange? Why or why not?
3. In most parts of the world, privacy is a right. In the United States, though, this isn't necessarily the case, since the Constitution does not provide an explicit right to privacy. Without an explicit Constitutional right to privacy,
a. should companies have access to our private information?
b. what if we have opted to use "free" services in exchange for our personal/private information?
4. Numerous companies have emerged selling "privacy." For example, Proton Mail is an email platform that is designed around private and secure email. The service costs $5 per month for basic email services (though a very limited free tier also exists). Other firms sell services
purporting to be able to delete your personal information off the Internet. For example, for a modest fee of $10.75 per month, Abine's DeleteMe service claims to be able to remove your, "name, age, address, photos, email, past addresses, phone, relatives, social media,
occupation, marital status, and property value" information exposed by data brokers.
a. Should privacy have a monthly fee?
b. Even if we have shared our personal information with companies like Facebook, Google, etc., do "data brokers" have a right to purchase our information?
