"We Are Data." LJ2

  “We are data.”     The ar ticle is difficult for me to understand . I am not sure whether it was about “ the right to privacy,” or whether “ you ” are essential to be relevant for google Uk. What I find interesting about the article is how the “celebrity” back in the day wanted “the right to be forgotten” as it related to their private lives , versus now where social media is being used by the celebrity to remain and stay google relevant .
