Tech companies have exploited users' data for too long. Our data is our property. The Data Dividend Project is a movement to empower Americans to take back control of their data. Join today to have our team advocate for your data rights on your behalf.
During my campaign, I argued that our data should be ours. That sounds obvious, but today big tech companies and data brokers are selling and re-selling our data every day and we are none the wiser.
Today, I’m announcing the launch of the Data Dividend Project. A movement to empower Americans to take back control of their data. The tech companies have billions of dollars and hundreds of lawyers. What does the average citizen have? The DDP aims to gather together hundreds of thousands of Americans to collectively bargain for your data rights that are currently being exploited by the big technology companies. The tech companies will be faced with a choice -uphold their users’ data rights, compensate users appropriately or risk losing their license to the data that fuels their business.
It's called the Data Dividend Project because the goal is to change the status quo so that, if you choose to share your data, YOU can get paid for the use of your data. After all, if anyone is making money off of your data, shouldn’t it be you? Sign-up today at ddpforall.com.
@andrewyang very interesting. Do you plan to partner with products like Brave who are already going something in this realm, or remain completely independent?
@andrewyang Honored to upvote your project. Why did you choose to launch on Apple WWDC day, you're bound to have the media bury your story to an extent? Is the goal of this project primarily to drive awareness, or do you think real change needs to come from regulation?
Huge fan of you and your campaign, @andrewyang!
What are your thoughts regarding how far this will extend, e.g. indirect revenue gain (such as improvement of machine learning models in other areas, an example being Google's Cloud products), smaller/non big tech ad networks, or startups/growing companies? I ask as my back-of-the-envelope math suggests big tech's advertising revenue per user is relatively low (multiple sources put North American annual ad ARPUs at <$100 at the biggest tech co's)
In any case, it's an awesome idea!
@andrewyang, @clara_chung, @enoch_liang Well done to the team on this! As another entrepreneur in this space, I'm curious if your approach is specifically regulation-based, like legislation for tech companies to redistribute a % of their revenue from data to the end user? Or is there any technical / business approach incentivizing data buyers to directly pay consumers for their data?
@andrewyang Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator.
Why disable the access to your website based on location? I had to use a VPN to access it, that is stupid and breaks the whole purpose of the World Wide Web
Data is valuable to brands/marketers/advertisers/etc., but not for individuals. So how is data the most valuable asset in the world? It takes a LOT of data to make it worthwhile, usually more than 1 persons worth of data.
Consumers are waking up to the misuse of their data, hence the legal regulatory jumps being made with CCPA and other e-Privacy changes (browsers, too!)
"If you choose to share your data, YOU can get paid for the use of your data." -- at Loginhood (https://loginhood.io) we couldn't agree more; we're doing just that: rewarding consumers for sharing their data (and stopping others that collect it)!
A user-shared data economy is coming. Thank you @andrewyang for using your platform to bring about this new (better) world.
