Below is the plot
Zero Privacy is a documentary film about privacy in the era of the Internet and social networks.
We are all guilty of this: accepting cookies or agreeing to terms and conditions without reading the accompanying text. Who has time for that, right? This documentary looks at how companies take advantage of this situation and how we willingly invite danger into our cyber lives when we make purchases or install apps by hitting the accept button.
The documentary also takes aim at big tech companies, like Google and Meta, for their confusing privacy policies that deliberately hide their intentions behind jargon — allowing them to collect massive amounts of information with users’ permission, but perhaps without their knowledge.
It’s a dark dive into how valuable our data is and the lengths big companies are willing to go to get it, and you’ll definitely want to customize your cookie preferences the next time you’re asked.
The documentary highlights the pervasive nature of data collection in the digital age, focusing on major technology companies like Facebook and Google. It reveals how these companies collect, store, and use vast amounts of personal data, often without users’ full knowledge or informed consent. Through interviews with privacy advocates, legal experts, and those affected by data breaches, the book paints a troubling picture of the current state of online privacy.
One of the main issues addressed is the complexity and length of terms and conditions agreements. These documents, which users must agree to before using various online services, are often full of legal jargon and are rarely read in full. The film argues that this practice allows companies to include clauses that grant them broad rights over user data, effectively compromising individual privacy.
The film also explores the relationship between corporate data collection and government surveillance. It examines how the passage of laws like the Patriot Act has facilitated greater cooperation between tech companies and government agencies, leading to unprecedented levels of information sharing. It features real-world examples of how this data exchange can impact individuals, including cases of preemptive arrests based on online activity.
Terms and Conditions May Apply features industry insiders including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. These interviews, along with archival footage, provide insight into the perspectives and motivations of those at the helm of major tech companies.
The documentary goes beyond simply describing the problem, offering tips for protecting personal information online. It encourages users to be more mindful of their digital footprint and to consider the long-term implications of sharing personal data. It also discusses potential legislative solutions and the importance of advocating for greater privacy protections.
