i am alex fowler and i work on privacy and policy for mozilla
so we launched a new firefox add on called like me
and light beam is a tool that informed user
about all the interactions they have via their browser
it's meant to improve people literacy about privacy
there are 2 main ways that this is core to mozilla mission
first of all this is really about educations really about bringing to light
the interactions that we have is users online
and all the companies that we interact with so it's really about
teaching learning knowing understanding the weather
the second way that this is core to mission is that we b're building an open dataset
so that others can build on this find new ways to educate
new ways to inform and ultimately create new control mechanism for users for their privacy on the web
i'm really excited about how the community can take the code hacked build it make it better
make it more responsive to users needs
so we really educate people how the web works and what they can do to control their own experience of online
i'm Dethe Elza i'm the lead developer light beam
because we care a lot about privacy on web works to make tools to help to people about privacy
well we're hoping to put even more type 2 visualization and more type detection things that can been going on
the crowd sourcing is could everyone can go in and help us gather information about which sites have
privacy policy and which are hearing to do track and trying to build the big picture
for privacy online
launching it
it's been along time
