Quote: Edward Snowden “It is not data that is being exploited, it’s people that are people exploited.”

“Data isn’t harmless, data isn’t abstract when it’s about people. Almost all the data being collected today is about people. It is not data that is being exploited, it’s people that are people exploited. It’s not data in networks being influences or manipulated, it is you being manipulated.”
