Abstract: Abstract Invasion of privacy is an old problem: searching mail, tapping phones, photographs, surveillance. The Digital revolution has created the capability to develop digital profiles that expose intimate personal lives in detail. Digital storage, artificial intelligence, and nonstop real-time data gathering is invading personal privacy, manipulating behavior, and causing exaggerated news coverage. The Internet, which originally was a way to connect people for social good, now exacerbates social divisions and threatens the democratic process. One interesting paradox is that too much data causes people to filter it, which causes digital blindness to opposing ideas.
