Let’s get radical: digital privacy as a collective issue
summary
Argument: privacy functions as a collective political tool to push back on surveillance, not just an individual right. Evidence: re‑identification research shows 87% uniquely identified from zip gender and birthdate; Cambridge Analytica and Pegasus expose democracy‑scale harms; machine learning, facial recognition and automated decision systems are the actual tools driving extractivism. Claim: limiting collection and redesigning data pipelines redistributes power. Outcome: privacy protections enable organizing and rights wins (eg reproductive and LGBT rulings) rather than merely blocking innovation.
