- The importance of consumer awareness and education relative to security, data privacy & tech ethics.
- Why tech companies don't really want everyone's opinion & why capitalism wins.
- Empowering consumers through education in an accessible, approachable way and at scale through her research organization Cyber Collective and her weekly video series security, privacy, and a lot of other bullsh*t.
- Amplifying underrepresented voices.
- Why you should always ask questions vs unconsciously clicking and sharing.
- And why she recommends a consistent digital/social media detox's every weekend.
