Description
In the town of Internetville, a unique bakery, Data Delights, offered irresistible cookies with a catch: each cookie had to be paid for with a sprinkle of personal data. Enamoured by flavours like Lemon Log-in and Chocolate Profile Crunch, the townsfolk unknowingly traded their privacy for these tasty treats. Soon, the bakery owner, knew more about the town's inhabitants than they knew about themselves. The delicious deceit continued until a group called the Clear History Guild uncovered the truth. They warned their fellow citizens: "In our rush for digital convenience, are we the consumers, or are we the consumed?" So, dear podcast listeners, it is  crucial to ponder what we're really biting into – is it just a cookie or our very privacy? Tune into this episode for more.
