Abstract

This paper addresses the economy of personal data interception, also called the intrusion economy, an important component of the informational economy.  It shows the dynamics of attention-getting and the growing need to capture personal data aiming at modulating behaviour and influencing the choices of internet users. The paper points to the conflictual relationship between the right to privacy on one hand and the growing market for personal data on the other.
