Privacy & Data

Leslie Harris on ABC News’ Ahead of the Curve

CDT President Leslie Harris appeared on ABC News' Ahead of the Curve where she discussed our "Take Back Your Privacy" campaign and the need for privacy laws to protect people both on and offline. She also discussed what is on the Congressional horizon with respect to privacy legislation.

Your privacy is inherently your right and your decision to share information with your friends does not always mean you want to share it with the rest of the world. Since most people don't read privacy policies (and who can blame them? These privacy policies are generally difficult to understand for a reason) on websites, applications and their devices, they have no idea what information is being exposed and how it is being used.
More and more people are joining the campaign every day and pledging to demand accountability from businesses and Internet companies on the privacy front. Check out the interview and sign up today.
