➽ ➜⇢➤Andrew Yang: You should get a check in the mail from Facebook, Amazon, Google for your data Andrew Yang, the Democratic presidential candidate best known for his $1,000-per-month universal basic income platform, says tech giants should pay people for use of their data.
“Right now, our data is worth more than oil,” Yang said during Tuesday’s Democratic debate in Ohio. “How many of you remember getting your data check in the mail? It got lost. It went to Facebook, Amazon, Google.”
Yang offered the idea as a way to handle such tech megaliths instead of just breaking them up (which some, like Democratic candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have advocated). https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/17/andrew-yang-facebook-amazon-google-should-pay-for-users-data.html?__source=facebook%7Cmain&fbclid=IwAR02SIJ0-sbxggoCw9Xdm685LtGltDVb1WKd4J4AZ2G7nE3CvSWEIeaHEFw
