You’ve likely felt it: that uncanny sense that your phone is eavesdropping or that the Internet is feeding you exactly what you love and everything you hate. We call it the Algorithm; the thing that decides what we see, who we talk to, and what we believe.

The algorithm isn't a single entity; it’s a hyper-focused, data-driven librarian with one specific goal: to keep you engaged longer and longer so the company can make more money. By treating your attention as a currency, platforms have built sophisticated engines that don’t just show you content; they predict your future behavior. Here is how the world’s biggest digital companies are shaping your worldview.

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic nowadays, making data an even more valuable resource. After all, AI platforms rely on data to function.

Businesses tend to collect and capture consumer data in an effort to provide a better experience or find new customers. Many of these businesses will package this information together and sell it to marketing companies. Consumers often don’t know how to opt out of this kind of activity and, thus, wind up oversharing information. This week, we want to highlight these issues and address how you can keep your personal data from being collected without your consent.

Have you ever received an email notification that someone has checked out your LinkedIn profile? While you might be flattered in the moment, you might then suddenly notice that LinkedIn is doing the same thing to you, telling others when you have looked at their profile. While this isn’t always a bad thing, and can even be good for networking, you might want to adjust this setting so that your privacy can be maintained a bit better.
