Episode 5 - Data Privacy and Regulation

Is your phone listening to you? Just how much personal data are Google and Facebook collecting on you and selling to advertisers? How can you improve your data privacy online?

In this episode of sistercodes we're discussing data privacy and regulation and everything that comes along with it. We're talking about the tradeoff between a free platform and giving away your personal data, bringing regulation into tech with laws like GDPR, and ways that you can improve your data privacy online.
