It’s difficult for Web and mobile users to make informed decisions about Web-based products because much of the data collection happens behind the scenes, other speakers said. “It’s hard to compete on something people don’t know about,” said Ashkan Soltani, an independent security researcher and consultant.

Along with Jonathan Mayer of Stanford Law School, he showed how Google was bypassing tracking preferences in Apple’s web browser, Safari, which resulted in Google having to pay a $22.5m fine.

Users are entrusting their phones and computers with a great deal of personal information, he said, and these platforms are not taking adequate steps to make clear to the consumer that third-parties have access to this information.
