Tech giants do big business with our data, they seem to improve privacy with technical changes whose key only they have. The GDPR cannot prevent this, even though it is the best data protection law so far.
The systems are managed by organizations that by their monopoly position interpret the rules as appropriate so that we cannot do anything effective in the protection of our data and the right to privacy.
The disturbing scope of these practices causes outrage at the abuses and risks posed by the deep knowledge they gain from what we do.
The exploitation of our data with Big Data must be ethical and consensual. In these conditions it can be very positive, but it must be decided by each person.
No one will protect our data better than we do ourselves. It will be feasible if we have the necessary technology: a system that guarantees it at the root of its design.
This is the purpose of Citizen Key, the ‘key to the citizen’: to create a system for the empowerment of our data using our own identity as a source of law.
The CitizenKey.org project has been created so that the design, development, initial technological heart and start-up, is public and done with the participation of people who feel motivated by each one providing what is in their hand.
CitizenKey must be ours from the beginning. The data is ours, we have it
