Many IT Professionals deliberately abstain from social media because of the profound risks to data privacy and security. Having intimate knowledge of how platforms harvest, store and monetize user data, IRQ recognizes the inherent risks when you surrender personal information to opaque algorithms and third party data miners.
Unlike non-technical professionals, IT specialists like IRQ understand the technical mechanisms behind tracking cookies, facial recognition, and behavioral profiling — tools that can expose people to identity theft, surveillance and algorithmic manipulation.
