Data privacy is important. That's something that everyone should be aware of, but unfortunately, it's not really the case. In a world of free services from companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and others, the allure of giving up your privacy is completely understandable. Over the last few decades, we've slowly-but-surely been conditioned to give away control of our data to large tech companies, who monetize by harvesting our data, building profiles of who we are, and then selling that to advertisers. If that feels a bit gross...well, it's because it kind of is. Don't leave just yet, there is hope around the corner, in the form of self-hosted services., Included in this video is a brief history of the Internet. Presented by tilvids.com, a new video community based around edutainment content. Free to view, with no video ads or data-harvesting, showcasing some of the best independent edutainment producers.
