b'Do you remember what it feels like to be a kid? The joy of riding a bike, the exhilaration of running across an open field and feeling the wind on your face, that first lick of ice cream on a hot summer\\u2019s day. You had no bills to pay, places to go, or jobs to work.\\xa0

At TARTLE, we think it\\u2019s time to bring that back for people. The marketplace is our way of empowering individuals to seize control of their data and profit off of their hard work. It\\u2019s only right that you benefit the most from the effort you put out on the internet\\u2014which is not what is happening in the status quo.

This episode is a continuation of Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby\\u2019s discussion on helping people under authoritarian regimes find freedom.

Do You Have a Voice?

One indication that a person is living under an authoritarian regime is to look at their capacity for free speech. A good test would be to see if individuals like you and I can go to a public space and openly criticize the government, or their leader.\\xa0

An extension of this freedom is the availability of reading materials and other kinds of media that may look controversial, or against the government. How heavy is censorship in these areas? While censorship does occur in varying degrees around the world, even in liberal democracies, it becomes a problem when it\\u2019s used excessively\\u2014and for the sole benefit of keeping those in power, empowered above everyone else.

Do You Own Your Data?

Another aspect of regimes involve issues with property rights. When it comes to personal data, you\\u2019d think that you would have sole control over it because it\\u2019s something you produce as an autonomous being. But authoritarian regimes are constantly on the lookout for ways to secure your genomic\\xa0 information and location, which are two of the most in-demand data packets in the world.

These packets are often passively collected by your smartphone or gadgets on a regular basis, and they tell a lot about who you are as a person. It\\u2019s a direct expression of your freedom of movement and your biological makeup. When an outside entity seeks to restrict or control you based on what you were born with or where you want to go, that is authoritarian behavior.

Are You Already Under a Regime?

In passing, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby raise an interesting thought to ponder: what if you are already a part of an authoritarian regime?

By virtue of your participation on big tech platforms that do not commit themselves to open and transparent practices, you are already a pawn in someone else\\u2019s game of chess. Try and find out how much of your data is being used for someone else\\u2019s profit; you\\u2019ll be shocked at just how much you\\u2019re missing out.

Closing Thoughts

With TARTLE, you don\\u2019t need to worry about someone else coming in and taking all your data. The hard work you put into curating your digital personality will benefit only you, at the pace that you choose. We are constantly at work in ensuring that the marketplace is a transparent, decentralized system where fraud, oppression, and corruption cannot exist.

TARTLE wants you to reclaim what is rightfully yours. We don\\u2019t put a lot of thought into how much money and information we\\u2019re giving away everytime we connect to the internet. This is your opportunity to take the first step on the road to becoming a data champion.

When you realize the full potential of what your data is capable of doing, your influence is limitless.\\xa0
