Big IT steal our children’s data!

We have to talk about European data sovereignty. Big IT steal our children’s data! I have first hand seen that schools in Sweden use big IT-companies services for online meetings, classroom and email services. This is among other services and is not exclusive. There are other instances of the state that do the exact same thing. We are in this way giving away a very big chunk of our private data! And even worse, we force our children to do the same!

Why it matters

We have had a long time of “good” relations with US. But as we have seen after the last election it takes very little to change that fact! We are giving away our citizens private data to big companies that make money in very questionable ways. And treat our privacy as it was not even private! It takes very little for anyone with all this information to do a lot of harm in our modern society. And on top of that we are forcing it on to all Europeans ! There is no opt-in! If you don’t use the tools you will get left in the cold.

Is there a real danger?

I am not saying that we are cooperating with the worst of the worst (until I read the privacy policies). But why are we doing this when we have just as good services in Europe? We do not know who actually have access! There are a lot of talk about other social-platforms. But there is almost no talk about any of the big companies from over seas.

Given the data that you collect through these systems you have even more in depth data about little Sven. This data would then be used to target information in a social platform. All of a sudden little Sven have a set of thoughts that would never exist otherwise! What these thoughts are is 100% up to the one giving the information. Fictive right? I do not think it is made up at all, I think that this is fact.

And our company secrets

They are just as the rest of the data sent to big companies. First rule of leadership is that the one that have information have power! We are letting them steal these secrets just because “every one else does it”. Same thing here really, the worse thing here is that we already know this! But it seams that we lack the will to fix it!

The medicine

I am not saying that Botwork is the go to place for all instances! I am not even saying that everything needs to move from the tech-companies. BUT I am saying that we need to be careful! I say that Botwork is a proof of concept that we do not need to send our data over seas. We can use services like these in a very easy manner to build our own infrastructure on our soil. Bring back our right to privacy! Demand our schools and state to use platforms that is not founded by advertising or data stealing! It is up to us all to make a stand before it’s even more to late than it already is.

As a first step I recommend you to test our setup, 14 day test period! Or sign up for news email and get in the loop with guides to move your data to Europe!
