In this episode I speak with Al Kags from the Open Institute and Tom Orrell from DataReady about their involvement in a grassroots movement in Africa. The #RestoreDataRights movement aims to protect individual's data rights in the face of the mass collection of personal data in the COVID-19 pandemic.
