Technological advancements have undoubtedly brought convenience to our

lives. However, the commodification of personal data, digitization of society, and
scarcity of laws have eroded our ability to protect individual privacy in the modern
world.
The Internet has paved the way for the accumulation and trading of data
regarding users' online habits. Scandals involving the sale of users' social media data,
for example, are proof that our digital footprints are now lucrative commodities.
Moreover, penalties for selling this data are a fraction of the revenues gained from
the activity, which may incentivize corporations to continue violating people's
privacy.
Additionally, as society becomes ever more digitized, individuals are being
compelled to disclose more personal data. Registering private information on
governmental sites, for example, may afford citizens access to vital public services
4 such as healthcare. Once registered, however, it may not be possible for citizens to
control how their data is used, thereby making the safeguarding of their personal
details unfeasible.
The struggle to maintain individual privacy is further exemplified by a
conspicuous lack of legislation. Devising and authorizing laws is a protracted
process, requiring meticulous consideration. The massive effort required to
safeguard the huge amounts of data generated by our daily activities has left
lawmakers struggling to keep up.
Thus, in the face of capitalist greed and intrusive governance, both of which
are escaping the reach of overwhelmed judicial systems, protecting individual
privacy has become an impossible task.
