This talk introduces a new and innovative business model supported by a network of digital activists that form a collective force for protecting humanity, enabling digitally aware users to reclaim control over their data.
After the era of Big Oil, we now live in the age of Big Data. Whoever controls the data, controls the world. Large tech companies lure users with free digital services - email, messaging, and social platforms - but the hidden cost is steep: loss of privacy, autonomy, and data sovereignty. While open-source solutions offer alternatives, their adoption often remains limited to IT specialists. In a world where convenience has become a subtle form of control, the pressing question emerges: Why hasn’t a broader movement for digital freedom taken hold, and is there a viable path forward?
This talk introduces a new and innovative business model supported by a network of digital activists that form a collective force for protecting humanity, enabling digitally aware users to reclaim control over their data. By combining innovative tools, thoughtful practices, and forward-looking approaches, we’ll show how digital gurus can become “Digital Davids,” standing up to the Data Goliaths and shaping a more sovereign digital future for their communities.
