"These companies have access to a tremendously invasive amount of data about people's lives. And still they don’t have the context of what people's lives actually are," said Daniel Kahn Gillmor, a senior staff technologist at the ACLU. He adds that"There's all kinds of things where just the fact of your life is not as legible to these information giants."
