Welcome to Liverpool Digital Defenders!

We teach tools and tactics for protecting our privacy and personal data.

Bring your phone or laptop!

In this session we'll be covering:

• How Facebook Like buttons track you around the internet, and how to stop them
• What Facebook looks like to advertisers and the 91 characteristics they can target you with
• How Facebook uses your phone number to figure out what companies and charities you deal with
• How Facebook pays for personal information from Data Brokers to learn more about you
• How to limit the information Facebook learns about you
• Safer, more private alternatives to Facebook's Messenger app

The session will start with a short introduction talk, then we'll break out into different tables for topics. If you bring a phone or laptop we'll help you change settings and install software.

Everyone is welcome, especially people without a technical background.
