It's been a year of insightful discussions at our podcast Voices of the Data Economy hosted by @dikshadutta🌊

Here's a throwback to all episodes we've published and all the issues our guests have addressed🕒

Let's start this round-up with data and regulation. #2021inreview

1/ Data manipulation by search engines like Google has increased government regulations in protecting data, corporate policies on data protection rights, and AI regulation. So, how do search engines use our data against us and where do data policies like GDPR come in?

Author @safiyanoble shares her take on algorithms becoming tools of oppression and how a simple query on a search engine gives companies the ability to affect the lives of their users. Listen to the whole podcast here:
