Data is Fire

Quote

There is the popular notion that "data is the new oil". A better analogy is "data is fire". Why? Well, here are a few reasons:It can spread uncontrollably. Once data is out in the open, the owner loses control over who can copy the data.It can help us prosper and solve problems. Like our ancestors used fire to keep them warm and cook food, we use data to understand our world better and make money.But it can also cause irreparable damage if misused. When sensitive data leaks, it can ruin someone's life. Companies are hoarding data to secure dominance.
