Topic: Data Protection
Digitalization has fundamentally changed the way data is handled: considered “the new gold,” data is now collected whenever possible, analyzed, and often even sold. This usually happens in the background when using a service on the Internet, and for the most part, users notice little or nothing of this.
However, even if not immediately apparent, our privacy takes a massive hit from this trend to collect as much data as possible: the constant surveillance by online services, large corporations, and governments has a huge impact on Internet users, even if they aren’t aware of it. That’s why it’s essential to recognize the risks involved in disclosing personal data online and to take effective measures to protect one’s data and devices. The good news: such measures are easier to implement than it might seem.
