Peer Review from Wenyi Cheng

1. The length of the article satisfies the requirement of 3000 words. The author of the page has done concrete research on the topic of digital privacy and how it interacts with advertisements.
2. (1) The structure of this article is clear and well-organized. The opening paragraph starts with introducing the concept of digital privacy and its importance in the internet age. After that, the author talks about advertising and states that its form has changed from traditional media to new media. At last, the opening paragraph ends with explaining how Internet advertising is closely associated with digital privacy these days and summarizes the main topic of the article. I think there's no need to improve.
(2) The body of the article is divided into many sections, making it very readable. There are three large sections, and each one is further divided into smaller sections. The first section, "Digital Privacy And Personal Data Collection", talks about the ways personal data are collected and how privacy is threatened. The second part, "Advertisement Case studies", introduces the advertisement of 4 typical internet companies, Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Finally, the third section, "Ethical Dilemmas", talks about ethical concerns from 3 degrees, which are Privacy and Misuse of private information, Security, and Bias. I think there's no need to improve.
(3) The author utilized a total of 48 references to back up his claim, and each is properly annotated. However, I suggest that the author can improve this part by briefly describing each reference in the references part instead of simply showcasing the website URLs.
3. The author explains the issue clearly with valid evidence. After reading the article, I understand that the ethical issues related to digital privacy are truly important, and they will become even more important in the future with the development of the Internet. Information is more valuable than we imagined, and it is extremely necessary and imperative to protect our digital privacy on the Internet.
4. The article is reporting on ethical issues objectively without any personal opinions. All statements are backed up by references, and they are not made up intentionally by the author. The author does not argue for anything, simply describes the situation of digital privacy and how they are related to advertisements in the Internet age.
