Privacy zines in basket

Published May 23, 2025

Data is the currency of the current digital age — it’s important to learn how Big Tech companies use it, as well how to demand regulatory control. This zine created by Smith College Libraries staff explores how your individual data may be used against you, as well as the larger threat of collective data being used with or without our consent in ways known and unknown.

Pick one up!

Printed copies of the zine are available at the Central Service Point and first floor support desk in Neilson Library.
