In this episode of Data Darling, we dive into the world of data privacy, surveillance, and digital rights. Discover the story of Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who exposed the shocking extent of government surveillance in 2013. Learn how his revelations sparked a global conversation about data privacy and led to Max Schrems’ landmark case against Facebook under Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We’ll break down key programs like PRISM and the Verizon Order, explore the concept of "data shuffling," and discuss why the US lacks a national data privacy law. Plus, we’ll connect the dots to modern-day controversies like TikTok’s data practices and what it means for your online privacy.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a privacy advocate, or just curious about how your data is used, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to take control of your digital footprint. Tune in to Data Darling and follow the data!
