What are your views on privacy — and how does it feel to be tracked all the time?

We live in a world where the average person faces thousands of tracking attempts every day from apps that monitor Wi-Fi signals and battery levels to websites analysing every click and scroll. Even as global awareness of privacy grows, most users accept being monitored as “the price” for convenience.​

But is that trade-off sustainable? ExpressVPN’s 2025 survey found that 92% of people are concerned about AI-driven surveillance and censorship. In the UK, the ICO’s 2025 report shows confidence in data privacy rising — yet only among those who understand how their rights work, leaving the rest digitally disempowered.​

Many of us are caught in this tension wanting personalisation without exposure, convenience without compromise. AI makes this even harder; as experts now warn, maintaining autonomy in an “agentic AI” world will be the privacy battle of our time.​

So, I’m building Veil, a smart privacy extension that filters tracking contextually instead of blocking everything blindly. But before diving into features, I’d love to hear your thoughts:

Do you feel comfortable knowing how much of your online behavior is tracked daily?

Have you ever avoided using a product because of privacy concerns ?​

Is there such a thing as “informed consent” when most data collection happens invisibly?

What would true digital privacy look like for you in 2025?

Your insights will shape where tools like Veil go next.

Let’s discuss how privacy can evolve beyond fear toward real digital autonomy.
