Data Privacy Concerns Rise as Tech Companies Collect Information Without Consent

Concerns grow over data privacy as tech companies collect vast amounts of personal information without user consent. A recent video by Sean Kelly, host of the Digital Social Hour Podcast, highlights the issue, claiming that companies are using this data to create social credit scores. "They're trading our data, rating us based on our purchasing habits and political beliefs," says Kelly. While the video presents some claims that lack verifiable evidence, it raises important questions about the ethical implications of data collection and the need for greater transparency and user control. The video's popularity suggests the concerns are widespread. Experts urge caution and advocate for stronger data protection laws.
