The Future of Privacy: Enforcing Privacy Standards

Published: Jul 4, 2024

By Esra'a al Shafei

Recent anti-privacy legislations and proposals in Europe, the US and Australia threaten to infringe our fundamental right to privacy and to create grave risks to the safety of children and vulnerable people. It's time we shift the focus: privacy should be a non-negotiable duty of technology providers, not just a right users must constantly fight to protect, and not something that users can be asked to consent away as a condition of access to a service.

Tech giants are trying to normalize surveillance capitalism, often with little to no consequences globally. These companies are contributing to a growing ecosystem where opting out of invasive data hoarding practices is becoming increasingly challenging, if not outright impossible. We are being gaslit by the technology executives who try to justify profiteering from AI theft, from Microsoft claiming all our content is fair game for their exploitation to unethical startups like Perplexity turning the word “privacy” into a marketable farce.
