In the age of surveillance capitalism, the pervasive reach of tech giants makes it nearly impossible to hide from their watchful eyes. These companies collect vast amounts of data through our interactions with their platforms, devices, and services. Every click, search, and interaction is meticulously tracked and analyzed, creating detailed profiles that fuel targeted advertising and influence behaviors.

Even with privacy measures like VPNs and encrypted messaging, tech giants often still have access to metadata and behavioral patterns. They exploit this data to predict and shape user actions, creating a digital environment where anonymity is increasingly difficult to maintain.

The interconnected nature of the internet means that data collected from one service can be cross-referenced with others, revealing more about us than we might realize. The omnipresence of smart devices, from phones to home assistants, further ensures that we are constantly generating data points.
