Question:
Is it fair for companies to use your information in ways they did not directly say they would?
This article brought up a lot of questions in my head of how information is being shared and how easy it is now a days to get taken advantage of. Everything is so fast paced that it is easy to lose track of what you do and what you sign up for. Before you know it your information can be used in ways you never imagined. This article talks about the fact that information like your race and age and gender is being used by agencies to figure out demographics of particular areas. The use of this type of information is not fair to use in order to put them into groups and stereotypes. The fact that information can be used in ways that people did not expect when giving blood or other things like that is not fair and it would seem to me to not be legal either. Just because you can do something does not mean that you should do it. Technology has made a lot of progress but we should not let that progress cloud our judgement as humans and make us do illegal things like use information in questionable ways.
