– We are outraged, because we, the citizens, are now kept in hundreds of databases, mostly without our knowledge or consent,
– over 1,200 companies specialise in trading our personal data, mostly without our knowledge or consent,
– every time we browse the internet over 50 companies now monitor every click, mostly without our knowledge or consent,
– we are constantly being categorised and judged by algorithms and then treated according to the “perceived value” we may or may not bring to business without our knowledge and consent, and
– lobbying is currently replacing European citizens’ voices and manifest concerns.”
