Who ultimately pays the price?
For the rich only.
So the market doesn't create the inequality, it just formalizes it, puts a price tag on it.
And there's that weird dynamic where if everyone else is selling data, choosing not to sell might make you look suspicious.
Which brings us to exploitation.
People agree to bad deals because the alternative is worse.
That makes the idea of voluntary consent seem really weak here.
Like that world coin example in Brazil, paying people for iris scans.
But people living in poverty might not feel they have that choice.
And the structure itself, selling these little discrete bits of data, it hides the bigger picture, doesn't it?
But they get combined.
So if we connect that to the bigger picture, you're saying privacy isn't just an individual thing.
Okay, unpack that.
Like clean air.
My choices affect others.
My data reveals stuff about my contacts.
