Description
Leading a modern life means leading a digital life… which is impossible without accepting that our privacy is eroded (at best) or non-existent (at worst). But must it be this way? Was it always like that? Here, we’ll consider the historical, human and technological factors defining our modern privacy expectations and capabilities. Through these lenses, we’ll search for the building blocks needed to deliver transparent and privacy-friendly digital experiences.
