When companies gather data they often leave those who they gather it from deceived by properly confusing contracts to allow them to take advantage of us through misinformation tactics. These misinformation is in contracts where they know they can get information in legal yet morally wrong days. This data they then sell without us knowing because it is stipulated in the unread contract. This data to is often treated insecurely leading to large groups of people having access to the data which has lead to abuses with peoples unknowingly collected data. This is a new frontier of property rights sense our ownership of data is currently being debated along with our right to privacy which is why it is such an emerging and foggy area what is or isn’t protected. I personally believe that we should have a right to own our data along with companies asking to use it being required to be upfront due to data being something that I would argue we have a right to control access to it. The other part of this argument is to decide if data is even considered property or part of privacy sense it is a new idea in this landscape and hasn’t yet been propley decided on what it is
