Dibner Discussion x LoveData: Whose Data is it Anyway? In-Person

Join us for another semester of Dibner Discussions! These discussions are informal and are meant to offer you a space to explore the topic of the month with others. Registration will open one month before the discussion date. Free pizza will be provided! Please take a look at our discussion guidelines and our running resourse document to check out previous discussion topics and resources.

You might be familiar with the sentiment - “if a service is free, you are the product”. This month’s discussion will be held during Data Services’ Love Data Week and will focus on exploring the impacts of current day data ownership norms and practices. It may seem fair to allow Google to collect and sell data about your usage patterns on their platforms, but how does this translate to a company like 23andMe owning and using your genetic data? Who does your data belong to?
