Information is usually free and accessible to all if you have an internet connection, but it can

not be found at a specific place, thus making it challenging to have rights. Commodities differ
from information about their commodities only the wealthy can afford due to high-value pricing
done purposely to lock the poor out. Moreover, unlike commodities that can be sold or used
and finished up, there is no way can use the information to complete. Once something is posted
on the internet, it stays there forever; the saying goes, 'the internet does not forget. Even after
deleting it from your computer or phone, the history will be stored in the service provider's
database, meaning the information is still there. I think information resembles private good. It
is because data can only be used by those who can access it. For instance, information gathered
by advertisers predicts the needs and preferences of customers, thus beneficial when
marketing to a specific set of customers. The e-books found on the internet are an example of
information that is a commodity.

In surveillance capitalism, big tech companies use personal information they gather from their
users to develop products that they think the users may need or will be interested in buying,
thus leaping profits from the customers' personal data in the long run. Companies like Google
and Facebook analyse their users' behaviors to make data sold to other companies for
commercial purposes. Information analysis helps us understand that our privacy is up for sale to
the highest bidder and that our history while online is not history. Also, through surveillance
capitalism, we know how profitable information is as a commodity but also dangerous at the
same time. A lot of information has been left in the hands of big tech companies without
regulation, and it might cost humanity one day.
