WHAT YOU SEE vs. WHAT THEY SEE
METADATA IS THE ENVELOPE.
The letter is your content. The address is your exposure.
I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP.
Without reading a single one of your messages.
INFERENCE
Call an oncologist? You might be sick.
Call a divorce lawyer? You are unhappy.
Call a suicide hotline? You are at risk.
Metadata reveals the pattern of your life.
PRIVACY IS POWER
It is not about hiding bad things.<br>It is about protecting your autonomy.
IMAGINE A WORLD...
...where your past choices do not dictate your future opportunities.
THE 3-SECOND RULE
1. PAUSE
2. THINK
3. POST
YOU ARE THE GATEKEEPER.
Check location settings.
Scrub sensitive photos.
Question the default.
Think before you share.
Your data is your story. Own it.
