Taking control of your data

22 August 2021 by Daniella Traino

University researchers are suggesting we use our data as a collective bargaining chip. Algorithms, surveillance and suggestions are meaningless if the data is poor quality & volume.

What if we as individuals could manipulate the data being collected? - if we had the tools to withhold data (privacy tools), poison the data (use browsers to confuse ads/ cookie collection) and more?

People power. lets build it so.
