Diminishing our personhood

Introduction

 In an earlier post I described different ways in which States and private corporations surveilled and monitored individuals in order highlight the potentiality that these techniques have for the control and shaping of individuals. In this short essay I will try to unpack the concept of the right to privacy and by describing some philosophical theories show how the interference with it can result in an insidious harm to our agency.
Line: 25 to 26
 

Conclusion

With State surveillance and monitoring by private corporation our agency is undermined, weakened. The effects these techniques have on our development and growth are not always evident, but they are constantly evolving and plotting against us. The various forms in which we are being molded without often realizing it, are reducing our ability of self-evaluation. We are acting based on what we think are our own desires, but there might always be an intruder in our own mental process. We, or most of us, want our actions and behaviors to be free from interference, most want to be able to autonomously chose which desires will become our will. Most of us don't want to lose our ability to explore ourselves as human beings, don't want to be treated as product or to be molded in order the be controlled. We need to reclaim our freedom.
