BUILDING THE DATA UNION TOGETHER

As a user of the internet, you are producing loads of data every day. Through social media, surfing the web and using apps on your phone. You produce this data in fun and engaging ways. However, the tech giants control your data. They set the conditions in which you work. You have zero control over what happens to your data and you see none of the profits your data creates. You, as a data user, have the right to good terms of employment. Your life is transparent to the tech giant but they refuse that same transparency. That is why we should unite. To form a counter force. To come to the table with Google and Facebook. To pressure governments. So we get control over the data, products and services we help produce.
