The world's most valuable tech companies profit from the personal data you generate. So why aren't you getting paid for it? In this eye-opening talk, entrepreneur and technologist Jennifer Zhu Scott makes the case for private data ownership — which would empower you to donate, destroy or sell your data as you see fit — and shows how this growing movement could put power (and cash) back into the hands of people.

I remember back in the day when the internet was starting to get popular.. there was an option screen that offered “private, ad-free” internet for $5 per month. Websites and search engine screens were 100% ad-free and you could search without consequence. Some time later, a notice came up to advise users the ad-free, private internet browsing would end, and explained how your info would now be sold.
Data is the new oil. Receipt hog will pay you to scan your receipts. there are other ways to make money with your data.

Data gonna be the new currency.
Collecting our data should get us paid, selling our data should also get us paid. The world has taken a turn for the worse. These people use our own data as a weapon against us.
