In Karel Čapek‘s 1920 play «R.U.R.», when talking about those who created robots (in this case artificial humans) for their personal profit, the character Alquist says: «They dreamed of the dividends. And on those dividends humanity will perish.»
More than a hundred years later, this fictional warning sounds oddly contemporary.

I will support any project that aims at building a European, privacy-focused (and ideally open-sourced) alternative to some Big Tech oligopolist‘s services with free privacy consulting.
It‘s time for change and I‘d be happy to contribute what I can and what I‘m good at!

Some of the issues us privacy people complain about may appear rather insignificant to you. I get that.
But please let me invite you to a different perspective: As we are currently setting a lot of precedents regarding data privacy rights, how we are handling the small issues today will have an effect on how we will deal with big problems tomorrow. That is why you should care about violations of your privacy, even if they don‘t seem like much today. Because tomorrow, they might.

I'm thinking about a GDPR-themed card game. Could be fun. And educational. 🤔
