Does anyone celebrate (or on any other way mark) #DataPrivacyDay 28. January ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Privacy_Day

I was wondering what would be the top 3 or top 5 themes for this event in my community. So far, thinking of:

4. VPNs
I was also planing on talking only about #opensource solutions.
