Precisely. I agree with Faiza. Technology moves faster than the law, than regulation, than protections. And people might not have initially been aware of those systems that have been put in place. I think around 2013, when Edward Snowden released his documents about the NSA's sort of pervasive surveillance around the world, but also of American phone records.

People first started to become aware that that was happening and to be upset about it, particularly from the perspective of government surveillance. However, I think people also love the convenience and the fun of the corporate side of surveillance in a way. You think about that app where it'll age your face a certain number of years and tell you what you look like in the future.

That ended up being a Russian app and people happily gave up their photos of their faces.

I think that a lot of lawmakers recently have started raising a stink about this issue, including Ron Wyden of Oregon. He said in a letter that governments are buying up so much of this data that data brokers are collecting that they can use to track people's movements, to sort of skirt requirements about what things that they're allowed to actually collect themselves, if that makes sense.

Thank you so much. That's the kind of data that companies have access to. If there's geolocation from your Google Maps, for example, and you regularly travel between a point that's clearly your home and a specific health clinic, that information is something that can be gleaned. And I mean, it works from all sides of the coin, right?
