  • Does the law regulate our privacy vis-a-vis corporations? Or do the company's polices and procedures do so?
  • How can you tell what privacy rights you have against a corporation?
  • How should companies collect, store, and use individuals' private data?
  • Is the big tech business model fundamentally incompatible with privacy?
