Tech companies are getting rich off our data.

Yang Gang --

When you surf the web, do you ever click “I agree” on a user agreement
without reading the whole thing?  Tech companies pretend it’s a choice,
but in reality, 99% of us just click that button as quickly as we can. 
And each time we do, we’re forfeiting all of our personal data while the
tech companies get rich at our expense.

If someone else is using your data, you should know about it.  If someone
else is profiting off of your data, you should get a cut.

A recent study shows that our data is now more valuable than oil!  Imagine
handing over cash every time they force you to check that box -- because
that’s what’s really happening.

In short, I want your data to be yours.  That’s why I’ve proposed to make
tech companies share the economic value of any data they collect from you.

This could be a win-win for many tech companies.  Individuals would have
the option to de-anonymize their data and sell it to tech companies who
are happy to pay for it.  Or, they could simply refuse to take part and
keep your data private.

to get rich off our data without giving us our fair share.

If somebody is profiting from our data, and we decide willingly to partner
with a company that’s making use of this information -- then that’s only
fair as long as we get a slice.  Right now, we’re unaware of the value
that’s changing hands and we’re definitely not getting a data check in the
mail.

Thanks for lending your voice on this important issue.
