An individual that uses usually free but sometimes paid services like search engines, social media platforms, streaming services, cloud storage for photos and videos, apps on smart phones, and carries a smart phone with them everywhere they go. The companies offer these services have exploitative EULA's and terms of use, which enables them to take the massive amount of private information/data a user generates, sell it to whoever thinks they can extrapolate something from it or sell it again for profit all while the user really gets nothing from the sales of their personal data and constant violation of their privacy other than using said "free" service. Additionally while using these "free" services, in addition to having their data sold/privacy constantly violated, a user's personal time is usually monetized by constantly showing them advertisements.
We're all data slaves, man. Google is out here making billions of dollars per month from selling our data and we get nothing for it.
