Abstract
Many business models and platforms powering digital life operate at the expense of privacy. Multinational companies like Google and Facebook already make billions, and are exploring new ways to monetize personal data. But this doesn't seem to be illegal, as users happily pay the price for 'free' services. On the other hand, groups willing to break laws are targeting our online security - including criminals looking for money and governments interested in surveillance and espionage. Are these two issues, privacy and security, jeopardizing Europe’s online future and digital culture?
