For the Act of Social Justice

Data, in this context, is not just information; it is power. The more we share, the more control we potentially relinquish.

It’s time to fight back against our data and the way it’s being used to benefit large companies as well as the government.

The focus of advocating and building a resistance to big tech companies and their power control over our (consumer) own data.

AI technology like facial analysis and the way it pushes prejudice biases and constant racism in the real world and online

How technology goes further beyond the idea of surveillance and privacy, but raises concern of racism that is embedded.

The importance of an online presence when it comes to privacy and data and what that means to consumers of the internet.

Further dive into the topic of surveillance and what that means for a consumer as far as from a game on the phone to accepting “cookies” on the web

Referencing the reading “Weapons of Math Destruction” and the need of algorithm transparency on the internet. What this does, and what this means.

Going cold turkey on all social apps and platforms in order to protect one own privacy, surveillance, and data. With the hopes of better protection.

Just how we can change the narrative and try to get security on the web if we can’t have privacy anymore, if it is really dead.
