Structural inequalities affect whose data is purchased by governments. And when government agencies have access to the vast reservoir of personal data that businesses have collected from us, bias is a likely outcome. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/corporate-spy-tech-and-inequality-2023-year-review
