Let's talk about Who owns your identity

Labor Academy Vic: Let's talk about WHO OWNS YOUR IDENTITY?
Yanis Varoufakis argues that Cloud Capital now owns your identity by harvesting the metadata from every interaction you have online. See his book Technofeudalism.
We will start with a video where he explains his ideas.
Peter Fitzgerald, Chair of Vic Labor's Justice and Democracy Policy Committee, talks this over with his friend Adjunct Associate Professor Vanessa Teague, recognised as Australia's leading cryptographer. Then they will open it to the audience in discussion groups.
They discuss some inconvenient truths about what happens to the metadata harvested from us by what Varoufakis calls 'cloud capitalists', siphoning off 40% of every purchase we make on Amazon etc. Then there is our banking data. And our government data like passports, driving licences. As for our emails, social media posts. Where do they go in the Cloud?
They will discuss TEN THINGS that people should know, but probably don't, about Data Sharing, Privacy, Security, Data Breaches, and Data Sovereignty.
BE PREPARED TO BE VERY CROSS OR VERY AFRAID.
