Carissa is also the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics. She collaborates with private and public institutions as a consultant.

In her presentations, Carissa explains how our personal data is giving too much power to big tech and governments, why that matters, and what we can do about it. She believes personal data is a toxic asset and should be regulated as if it were a toxic substance: ‘Privacy is not a personal preference; it is a political concern’.
