The harm to any one individual in a group that results from a violation of privacy rights might be relatively small or hard to pin down, but the harm to the group as a whole can be profound. As brilliantly shown here https://www.ft.com/video/0685a4ba-7b0b-442b-b38e-3f73101a6943 …

Take the Google/Fitbit deal - essentially a group data deal. It positions Google in a key market for heath data while enabling it to triangulate different data sets and make money from the inferences used by health and insurance markets. https://voxeu.org/article/googlefitbit-will-monetise-health-data-and-harm-consumers … H/T
