Today, we're diving into the deep and dark world of data and privacy. The internet is filled with bad actors intent on harvesting data with intents varying from selling to the highest bidder to influencing elections. Big tech companies like Facebook and Google are able to track everything we do online (and offline). Do we even have privacy anymore? Thankfully, there are companies actively working to make it easier for us, the consumers, to control our data and governments are not only enacting data privacy laws like GDPR, there is a growing movement around actual ownership of our data and taxing companies who use it and profit off of it - returning proceeds back to the people.  So how do we move forward in a world where data is the new oil?
