Try to remember the last time you searched for a product / service online, and after a while, you will notice an ad about the same product as you scroll through your Facebook feed on your phone. Some of you know why you see these ads, but most of the people are still confused by this. Not surprisingly, our actions on the Internet are never private and are constantly monitored by data companies.
All of your login credentials, photos, and even your search history are part of a vast archive of data that you have left over from using the Internet. In a way, in our attempt to realize the dream of an interconnected world, large companies are turning to personal data. In 2017, data surpassed oil as the most valuable resource on this planet.
In the past two years, we've discovered that data has become crucial for businesses and businesses alike. However, people are more aware than ever of data confidentiality. With the increase in the number of data scandals like Facebook-Cambridge Analytica, we have also witnessed the dark side of technology. What hurts us the most is how it is used against the collective well-being of people.
The truth is that there is absolutely nothing on the Internet that belongs to you. Think about it. The images you share on Facebook through Google Photos or iCloud reside in large companies. All the data generated by you is tracked and pollinated on different media. That's all; You are caught in the vicious cycle.
Staying away from the internet is not an option and sometimes it is not feasible, there is no known other way of owning your data. Well until now!
