This week on Privacy Please... In recent years, job hunting has become increasingly difficult, with extended hiring timelines and demanding application processes. Employers, who were once eager to hire, now subject candidates to grueling rounds of interviews. Even with temporary relief during the pandemic, the job market remains challenging, leaving job seekers frustrated and facing uncertainty.

Amidst these challenges, job seekers are also facing privacy concerns. The proliferation of one-way video interviews, necessitated by the pandemic's limitations on in-person interactions, has given rise to the collection of vast amounts of personal data. Moreover, the involvement of multiple stakeholders in the hiring process, as companies prioritize equity and inclusion, raises questions about the privacy and security of candidates' sensitive information.

This week on Privacy Please, we discuss the concept of feeling "normal" in the digital realm. Despite the increasing presence of surveillance and data collection, users in the United States seem unfazed and have developed a sense of acceptance within digital infrastructures. Feeling "normal" online provides a sense of comfort, connection, and social inclusion, even though it may not evoke strong emotions. This desire for normalcy explains why users identify with digital platforms, despite being aware of the potential harm associated with them.
