In our rapidly evolving digital age, our privacy is turning into a valuable resource exploited by technology giants for their own purposes. Every click, mouse movement, and website visit is meticulously recorded and analyzed, making our personal data a rare currency in the world of big corporations. According to Egyptian expert Mohamed Mohsen Ramadan, technology giants like "Google," "Facebook," and "Amazon" collect massive amounts of personal data daily, including our personal information, online behaviors, purchasing activities, and interactions on social media. These companies go beyond voluntary data collection, monitoring our movements with extreme precision, such as timing our link clicks and even mouse movements on the screen, aiming to build an accurate profile of us for targeted advertising and decision-making. Despite using advanced data analysis techniques, these practices raise questions about privacy rights and ethics in personal data usage. Ramadan emphasizes the need for greater transparency from companies regarding user data usage and raising awareness of digital privacy rights. With significant challenges ahead, individuals can protect their data by using protective tools like tracking blockers, strict security settings, and adjusting social media settings to limit shared information. The most important question that arises is: Can a balance be achieved between data exploitation for technological advancement and protecting individuals' privacy? These questions remain open, requiring all of us to consider developing a legal and ethical framework that safeguards our rights in an advanced digital world. Are you ready to defend your data? Or will you remain just another data point in a vast system that knows more about you than you know about yourself?
