## Resource

Your phone can track where you go, what you search for and which advertisements are most likely to get your attention. The strangest part is that much of this surveillance was not forced on us—we accepted it because it was useful. JP explores smartphone privacy, location tracking, data brokers, targeted advertising and the bargain we make when convenience requires access to our personal lives. In this episode: • How ordinary app permissions create an unusually detailed picture of you • Why science-fiction surveillance became an everyday consumer product • How to think more carefully about the trade between privacy and convenience Question for you: What is one piece of information you never want an app collecting? Find JP on X or Instagram and share your answer.
