Privacy, the forgotten issue: Apathy is making Americans vulnerable

"“If people know things about you, they can take advantage of you,” Ryan Calo, an assistant professor of law and a technology expert at the University of Washington, told Salon. Corporations have “the capacity and incentive to manipulate consumers to their benefit based on what they know about them” and “the same is true of government.”

“Trump has made repeated references to, if anything, vastly expanding a surveillance authority,” Calo said. “Whereas, Clinton, I imagine, will be . . . a little more restrained,” he added. “On balance, Trump would be much worse for privacy than Clinton.”"
