Nothing Is Really Free: How Apps Turn You Into the Product

If you’re using a free app… the real product is you. From your search history to your habits — even who you talk to — everything is recorded, analyzed, and sold. Companies turn your attention into profit, using your data to shape what you see and how long you stay online. So what can we do? Always check your app permissions, choose trustworthy alternatives, and remember: nothing that’s free is ever truly free. When we become aware, we start using technology consciously — because in the future, the most valuable thing will be your data.
