Perhaps you never heard of the psychological targeting done for political purposes through the misuse of mass data. (Cambridge Analytics)

Edit: to be clear, people in the comments have already provided many examples of situations where corporations/governing bodies have misused specific people’s personal data (zoom employees watching webcams without knowledge), however I also don’t think it makes sense to brush off the impact of mass data available as a result of much of the population freely giving away their personal data.
