Tech giants are raking in billions from our personal data while leaving us exposed to financial chaos. Our information is stolen regularly, and we’re left paying for their mistakes.
Major corporations have built business models using our data, often without us knowing who has our information and how it’s used. They’ve appointed themselves stewards of our data with barely any oversight, assuming liability for breaches because the consequences are laughable. They get rich, cybercriminals make fortunes, and we’re left holding the bag.
