The FTC just ordered Delta, Uber, Walmart, Target, DoorDash and others to explain whether they use your browsing, location, loyalty data or AI models to charge you the highest price you’ll pay (or to set driver pay).
Section 6(b) study, not an accusation yet. This is the real privacy story of 2026: data isn’t just for ads. It’s for extracting consumer surplus.

Your name may not be the most valuable thing companies know about you.

It’s your patterns.

When you wake up.
Where you go.
What you buy.
What you click.
What you ignore.

Each one seems insignificant.

Together, they can paint a remarkably accurate picture of you.

87% of Americans can be identified with just 3 details: ZIP code, birthday, gender.

No name needed.

Harvard’s Latanya Sweeney proved it unmasking a governor’s “anonymous” medical records using a $20 voter list.
