Reclaiming Privacy Amid Data Overexposure
Many people feel overwhelmed by their data being collected and often assume it's too late to reclaim their privacy. This mindset resembles a sunk cost fallacy, where individuals believe they've invested too much time or too many resources in established systems to change. However, it’s essential to recognize that just because one has shared personal information for years doesn’t mean they cannot make changes moving forward. Similar to realizing you've taken the wrong turn on a route, it’s vital to adjust your path when new information reveals that the current approach is flawed.
