Online Privacy And The Concept Of "Data Dividend"

JanBaby/Pixabay

We like our time on the Web, but there's a near-constant concern about what we give, in addition to what we get.  At this point, we give away our data, unless we're extremely cautious. 

In February, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a "data dividend," in which people would get paid for surrendering their data online.  Details have yet to be worked out.
