Unscramble the Blue Letters

I'm an anthropologist, and I'm also the mtoehr of two little girls. And I started to become interested in this question in 2015 when I suddenly realized that there were vast — almost unimaginable amounts of data traces that are being produced and collected about children. So I launched a racreesh project, which is claled Child Data Citizen, and I aimed at filling in the blank.

Original Text


Every day, every week, we agree to terms and conditions. And when we do this, we provide companies with the lawful right to do whatever they want with our data and with the data of our children. Which makes us wonder: how much data are we giving away of children, and what are its implications?

I'm an anthropologist, and I'm also the mother of two little girls. And I started to become interested in this question in 2015 when I suddenly realized that there were vast — almost unimaginable amounts of data traces that are being produced and collected about children. So I launched a research project, which is called Child Data Citizen, and I aimed at filling in the blank.
