ABSTRACT

The 21st century presents previously unheard-of difficulties for the right to privacy because of advances in technology, government monitoring, and shifting societal mores. This article examines how the idea of individual privacy is changing as a result of the interaction of digital technology, governmental regulations, and public attitudes. It explores how privacy is commodified, monitored, and challenged in the digital era by drawing on various philosophical, legal, and technical viewpoints, including as those of Westin, Foucault, Arendt, and Zuboff. The report emphasizes the critical need for ethical frameworks, legislative change, and public accountability in addressing issues ranging from algorithmic bias and global data governance to surveillance capitalism and face recognition. The article ends by suggesting interdisciplinary approaches to restore privacy as a fundamental component of democratic freedom and human dignity.
