Finn Lützow-Holm Myrstad at TED Salon: Samsung (transcript)
How tech companies deceive you into giving up your data and privacy
Summary
The problem of data is bigger recently because more people become users who have smartphones in their hands but they won’t be able to stop using it. Thus companies can take their data always without them knowing. And then cooperating with adds, it can deceive them. From now, more devices will be used and there is no rule to protect us.
The speaker who is Norwegian is working to protect consumers’ right in his country. He tells us that it’s not fair to put the burden of responsibility on the consumer and companies and government don’t deceive people but have to build trust with users by using data. Technology should only benefit society.
P.S.
I've heard that many Swedes are now put a microchip into their buddies to live usefully. Probably, American and Japanese must think that it’s dangerous to take data. In the beginning, Norwegian and Swedes seem to have confidence in technologies. Thus I think that the story would be told. We have to be careful more, governments will do nothing, and companies want to get more benefits. The reason will be the result of seeking always economic growth.
