Facebook data was not only used in influencing US presidential election, but also the Brexit vote in 2016, as people say. How exactly does the political ads target people in a way it can affect outcomes of such important elections?

Mark Zuckerberg still argue that users own their own personal information and decide when to share it and when not to. How much control do you think we actually have over our online data?

South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (“PIPA”) is often described as one of the toughest data privacy law in Asia. How does the law protect personal information online?

A pizza franchise in Korea says that the GPS tracker can improve safety of the delivery people by urging them to comply with traffic signs and traffic rules. Similarly, China’s tech company is monitoring workers’ brainwaves, to make sure they concentrate doing sensitive and dangerous work.
