Identify some cases of violations of user privacy from current literature and their impact on data science as a profession.

Explanation:

Remember, the term "violations of user privacy" is usually used when an entity without seeking users' consent uses or sells the private information of people (or users) in a way the users would view as inappropriate.

For example, in 2020, one of Mark Zuckerberg's company was recently accused of secretly watching its user who had the app installed on their phone via their smartphone front camera without their knowledge.

Another prominent case is that of ride-sharing company Uber, in 2018, they were accused of not taking seriously the protection of users privacy after they've experienced a data breach that exposed their customer's personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses. They were penalized as result by a court.
