How Indigenous Groups Are Leading the Way on Data Privacy: Indigenous groups are developing data storage technology that gives users privacy and control. Many worry that outside interests could take over their data and profit from it, much like colonial powers plundered their physical homelands. Now some Indigenous groups are reclaiming control by developing their own data protection technologies, work that demonstrates how ordinary people have the power to sidestep the tech companies
