The philosophy of privacy: why surveillance reduces us to objects
This article is about privacy being violated due to the media and the internet. Although the internet has become a platform to gain equality and rights/freedom globally, by fourth-wave feminists for example - people have been treated like objects as they are spied on.
The article by Michael P. Lynch (director of the Humanities Institute, and professor of philosophy at the University of Connecticut. ) claims:
''By invading our privacy without our knowledge, governments are making certain invisible decisions for the population. That is different to restricting autonomy by asking people to all go through a scanner at the airport. That is power visible to all, applied to all.''
