Every time you click "I agree" on a terms of service agreement, you sign away rights most people never read the fine print to find. Director Cullen Hoback digs through the privacy policies of Facebook, Google, and other platforms, showing how casual data collection has become raw material for advertisers, insurers, and law enforcement. Interviews with tech critics, lawyers, and former employees trace cases where status updates and search histories ended up in the hands of police or government agencies, including chilling examples of people questioned by the FBI over posts meant as jokes. Hoback confronts executives on camera and pulls apart the legal language companies use to justify near-limitless use of personal data. The film moves from Mark Zuckerberg's public statements on privacy to the NSA surveillance debates breaking in the news at the time of filming, tying corporate data harvesting to government access. It ends less as an expose of any single company than as a warning about consent nobody actually reads.
