- The internet is a battlefield for attention, often with harmful intentions.
- Digital behavior is shaped by systems designed to influence decisions.
- Privacy mistakes compound over time, making data nearly impossible to erase.
- Tracking occurs even when not actively using the internet, through various methods.
- Deleted data is often just hidden, not truly erased.
- Privacy is about control, not just hiding information.
