Project Idea 2- Conclusion

 Data project- The Aftermath 

With all these scandals, the victims of these attacks and schemes are the ones that have suffered the most. Victims did not only have the personal data leaked, but they also had information that they did not want out, information that has not shared with anyone, data that could be damaged an image that they have created and lead to mental and financial damage. 

The Cambridge Analytica data breach opened the Europian Union eyes toward how people are getting stored and in 2018 Data Protection created new Laws that would protect user data and they called GDPR(General Data Protection Regulation). This law would give control of the data to its owner, letting them decide how to be stored and shared, they also say that companies are not allowed to store data that if they do not have a justifiable reason to keep it.

(Quathem, 2020)

In conclusion, the data is never safe 100%, we have to always be careful with what information we put out on the internet as we never know how this information will be used and stored. We only have to hope that whoever is storing your data will follow the GDPR Laws.
