How a Wealth Gap Contributes to a Privacy Gap

'Facebook is facing scrutiny from countries around the world on its handling of users' personal information, but it's far from the only company that has seen massive data breaches in recent years.  While those sorts of infringements on privacy impact people from all income brackets, poor people tend to face far more severe repercussions, and not only because of the immediate financial costs involved with restoring credit scores and scrubbing personal information from the internet.   Poor people are also more likely to use a mobile phone to access the internet, which tends to mean they give up more information through apps and GPS-locations.  Michele Gilman is a law professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law who has written extensively about how digital privacy falls along economic lines. She joined The Takeaway to explain the added risks for poor people online.'
