Safeguarding Your Liberties, Every Second

Do you own what you store digitally? It’s a pressing question without a straightforward answer. The lines blur as to who truly owns and controls personal data—individuals or the platforms hosting them. This ambiguity adds another layer to the protection of liberties.
