These advancements have been used to help aid in our privacy online, but thanks to these advancements the level of risk our privacy faces is also escalating. In the article "The Wild West of Privacy", the author mentions how data is collected by these online companies, and then sold to external companies who use this data to figure out what our interests are, (personal to non-personal)which can put a person in danger. Hackers can access this information and steal credit card info, identity theft, and so on.
