Our Data Economy is Broken. Let’s Fix It.
Today’s data economy is failing to create a positive impact for all members of society. In fact, it often creates a negative impact for people and communities who have very little transparency or agency over their data.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Mozilla’s Data Futures Lab is working with industry partners, coalitions, researchers, policymakers, and activists to create a more fair data economy.
