Own Your Data with Brittany Kaiser: Episode 145
For episode 145 of Relate, we sit down with Brittany Kaiser, data rights activist and the founder of the #OwnYourData campaign. In this episode, we unpack a lot. We talk about Brittany's career, from her journey working for the Obama campaign to working for Cambridge Analytica while the scandal was going on with Facebook. Brittany was one of the whistleblowers of Cambridge Analytica, exposing what went on with regards to threatening data privacy and altering the course of democracy. She is now a staunch advocate for data protection and privacy laws and is working tirelessly to make data ownership an individual right.
