Modern Society and Its Risks When Oura announced a collaboration in August 2025 with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Palantir, a large data analytics firm, fear rippled across the internet.

The infamous privacy paradox refers to the apparent inconsistency between people’s stated concern for privacy and their readiness to disclose personal information. This phenomenon has sparked two largely disconnected literatures: one offering experimental evidence of inconsistent behavior, and another providing qualitative accounts and defending the importance of privacy. The Article presents an online field experiment […]

Most people are unaware that thousands of companies, of which they have never heard or interacted, profit off of their most sensitive personal data.
