Your data is exposed, you're addicted, and you might not even realize it.
How often do you unconsciously pick up your phone? Apps and algorithms constantly keep us glued to our screens, with the sole purpose of collecting our private data. We carelessly give away our data in exchange for 'free' services, and companies then trade or lose that data with ease. The victims of hacking and phishing are piling up, while the government consistently lags behind. How do we reduce this digital urge? What really happens with our data? And how do we regain control? In my lectures, I provide answers, shake people awake, and show how we can better arm ourselves in a world where privacy, focus, and real dialogue are becoming increasingly scarce.
