We do not accept –  A movement about data-ownership and data sharing.

 

There is a difference between the physical and the digital. In the physical world, we understand the rules. We have the intuition to detect when conditions are unfair or when the power is unbalanced. In the digital world, we lack that intuition.

 

In the physical world, we also understand our identity. We know when to be a friend, a professional, a student, a child, or a parent, and we know how to choose which one for each situation. In the digital world, we do not understand our identity in the same way. Instead, our identity got determined by companies and institutions, composted by data and algorithms.

 

The movement consists of various projects, experiments, games, talks, and presentations – to create awareness of the impact of digitalization on society. By making the complexity of information technology understandable for everybody, we can move towards truth data-ownership so that we can choose who knows what about us.

 

Instead of just clicking ‘agreed / next / permission / OK / accept’ to every button that pop-up.

 

Don’t just accept it, let’s take control.
