Andre Salais: Who Owns Your Brain: How Big Data is Used to Control Your Vote

Sunday Speaker Meeting

Having personally explored this topic to just the tip of the ice berg with Andre on a few occasions, you are not prepared to learn how companies are using your own data against you. Ever taken a survey on Facebook? Every liked a page? Every allowed an app access to your account? You could have opened yourself up to political organizations and others to manipulating you in subtle or even overt ways. This transcends advertising. What is actually going on will completely blow you away.

Join us for a presentation by Andre Salais on "Who Owns Your Brain: How Big Data is Used to Control Your Vote"
