Data Detox
Mozilla and the Tactical Technology Collective present the 8-Day Data Detox. This program can help you clean up your digital presence and be a little bit safer on-line.
Why detox?
Do you feel like your digital self is slipping out of control?
Have you let yourself install too many apps, clicked “I agree” a few too many times, lost track of how many accounts you’ve created? Perhaps you’re not as in-control of your digital life as you’d like to be.
Don’t despair; this data detox is for you. By the end of the next 8 days, you’ll be well on your way to a healthier and more in-control digital self!
Toxic data build-up
If we think about what one or two pieces of data tell others about us, it may not seem that big of a deal: who cares if I’m a fan of country music, have a nerdy passion for trains, or harbor a secret crush on Sam in Accounts?
The problem lies in what’s happening with all of these pieces of data: collected across all our devices, services and accounts, and analyzed, shared and sold. Taken together over time, intimate digital patterns emerge: our habits, movements, relationships, preferences, beliefs and secrets are revealed to those who collect and capitalize on them.
As you follow this data detox, you’ll get a glimpse into how and why this is all happening, and take practical steps to reduce your “data bloat” – a toxic build-up of data that can lead to uncomfortable consequences in the longer term.
So... check out the 8-Day Data Detox
