Imagine this scenario: You find yourself in need of a substance abuse treatment program, and you turn to a hospital for assistance. Little do you know that your search for help becomes part of the vast data stored in Google's databases, and potentially in the databases of other tech companies as well. Now, let's take it a step further. Let's say Google creates a spinoff that sells algorithms to HR departments for candidate screening purposes, aiming to identify the best employees.
This algorithm now has the potential to access a wide range of personal data about you, including the fact that you were recently seeking a substance abuse treatment program at a hospital. The question arises: What happens to our privacy in this age of data sharing and interconnected technologies?
