Privacy and Control in Modern Online Communication Platforms

Empowering users through data minimization and control.

Privacy is a fundamental right in the digital space. As online communication platforms evolve, there is a growing emphasis on "Privacy by Design"—the concept that user privacy should be the default setting, not an option.
