- My Personal Data: Whose Is It? Who Does It Belong to?
The personal data that users of mobile apps and social networks share on a daily basis goes far beyond their names, email addresses and documents. Where is the line between economic feasibility for business and violation of consumer's privacy? What personal data do users share and how often do they do it unconsciously? To what extent do the issues of control over the personal data collection and processing depend on people? And to what extent do they rely on the perfection of legal tools and technologies?

Alexey Natyokin, CEO, Data Souls; Founder, Open Data Science Community; Data Fest project organiser - 2020 Is The Year of Tiktok. Is It a Hype or Main Platform for Youth?
2020 is a unique year in terms of the social media's impact on our lives. The pandemic is the main reason for this process. The growth in the number of users of such platforms has reached unprecedented high. A number of news and the widespread hype around them on social networks has become the number one topic for discussion in society. TikTok is a great example. The Clubhouse is also growing fast. However, the future development of social networks is still unknown. Some of them are doing everything to remain on top. Apparently, TikTok and Clubhouse will be replaced by another social network in the near future. What will it be? This is what we need to figure out.
