Most of us don’t worry too much about where our data goes. We store documents in the cloud, collaborate online with Slack and Zoom and rely on platforms like Microsoft 365, Amazon Web Services and Google Workspace.
These tools are efficient, convenient and deeply embedded in how universities, businesses and governments operate. Our everyday digital life also involves online banking and payment systems, streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+, news and social media platforms, loyalty programs, fitness apps and smart-home services.
