Almost everything we do online leaves a trail of digital breadcrumbs: our data. A lot of us don’t think twice about sharing our data with companies like Google, Amazon, or Facebook or realize how much data the United States Government collects.
While sharing data can improve our online experience–we are often delivered information and products that coincide with our interests–we often compromise our privacy for the privilege of personalization. Privacy is a political issue but it is also an important issue that can effect our personal autonomy and civil liberty. This week it’s Choose Privacy Week and the library invites you to join a national conversation about surveillance and privacy. Get informed and get involved! #chooseprivacy
