In a digital world where data affects our relationships, trust and outreach, it is crucial to understand its importance – whether you are an individual, a company or a public organisation. How much data are you actually leaking? And how much control do you have over your social media feed?
PROGRAMME:
Trading on your behaviour – Where does your personal information go online?
Stefan Alfredsson, researcher in computer science at Karlstad University, explains how our data leaks through the web and becomes a commodity for social media, hackers and data brokers.
Social media sovereignty
Tim Sterner, Communications Officer at Compare, talks about the trend of more and more people distancing themselves from traditional social media and moving towards decentralised platforms with a focus on increased user control. How does this affect usage and exposure?
My exit from social media
Melinda From, Head of Unit at Inclusive Systems Innovation at RISE, has left several social media platforms to become independent. She shares her thoughts and lessons learnt from her exit. What are the benefits and challenges?
Hudd – A Nordic answer to the unsocial media
Jonas Floberg Åkre, co-founder and CCO of Norwegian Hudd, talks about their conversation platform that challenges algorithm-driven feeds and personalised data-driven business models. It’s not about getting the most likes – it’s about creating genuine digital spaces where people meet on their own terms.
When: Wednesday 4 June. 08:00-09:45. Drop-in coffee from 08:00. The programme starts at 08:30.
