How we gave away our personal data and the apocalypse to come when we are the product.

Speaker
Jon Honeyball
Synopsis
Who owns you on the internet? Are users aware of how much information is being held about them by global corporations? Is there such a thing as privacy any more, and should we care? Are there appropriate methods in place to allow the user to manage the information about them, and how do they go about it? Or is it all too late, the party is over, and we are simply data entries in a set of monstrous databases, determined to steer us in ways beyond our understanding? Is free really free, and how is the advertising marketplace responding to the existential threats to its existence?
In this talk, Jon will look at these questions, and offer insight into what users should be doing, and demanding of their devices, software, cloud services and suppliers.
Our events are for adults aged 16 years and over.
