Dan Boucher: How to control Facebook’s use of our data

Social media providers should be required to present UK consumers with an ongoing, highly visible, simple, unavoidable choice over its use.

By Dr Dan Boucher | 27 November 2018 | 18 comments

There’s a serious discussion to have about data and electoral law, but it is yet to take place.
