Design + Power: Policy for the Ecology of Influence
Platforms, apps, and other technology used by and deployed on us create persuasive environments.

More importantly, this talk examines the role of policy in reshaping these persuasive systems with the goal of mitigating or stopping the possible harms from data collection.
