11/20/2014

In this opinion piece from The New York Times, the author discusses the "dark market" for personal data and the potential dangers it poses. The article highlights the lack of transparency and control individuals have over their own personal information, as data brokers and marketers collect and sell massive amounts of personal data without consent. The author argues that this market undermines privacy and can lead to various abuses, such as discrimination and identity theft. The article concludes by advocating for stronger regulations and consumer rights to protect individuals' personal data and privacy in the digital age.
