TLDR
Tech giants have long collected, analyzed, and sold users’ data for profit – a strategy now commonly referred to as ‘surveillance capitalism” The origins of this phenomenon date back to Google in 2001, where, in an effort to boost profits and survive the dotcom bust, Google began running simulations on private data to predict user behavior and maximize click-through rates. Google also knows who you email (Gmail), where you go (Maps), what you watch (YouTube), and much more.via the TL;DR App
