Cyber risks --- Yes, I consider my/our human rights at risk. On a daily basis we share our personal and/or financial data with hundreds of firms operating in the cyberworld (google, facebook, social media, viber, whats'up, microsoft, amazon, e-bay and many ohters). Even our TV providers know and save everything we watch on our TVs, in what time of the day, and for how long, what type of music or movies we prefer and so on. We don't have almost any control what happens with our data from there. How do they collect, analyze, sell or share with third parties. Yes, we accept the terms and agreements by clicking yes before we open a profile and use their services, however, lets be honest, who can read 100 pages of legal text 10 times every day (to read and re-read facebook's or amazon's legal terms)!? Is this really possible? I'm afraid it is already too late to protect our HR in the cyberworld. Why? Because they already have our data, they will now employ and use AI, machine learning with all these data sets. The big tech have the cyber-power, to buy, create and use new cyber tools for their profit oriented goals before all (not to protect our HR as a priority). Moreover, there are 4-5 states that are ahead in the cybergame and other states can't even come closer, thus, can't protect themselves from the cyberpower of such powerful states (ex. USA, Israel, China, Russia). And this Diplo module mentions Quantum computing power, probable issues with today's encryption and so on...So, it is just matter of time when today's stolen encrypted data (even data belonging to a state's national security or intelligence sectors) will be decrypted tomorrow. To be honest, I am pessimistic, I don't think we will effectively protect our HR in the cyberworld. I imagine many things will become worse in few years time.
