This document discusses a presentation about the internet of things (IoT) and data in a digital society. As IoT devices generate large amounts of data and become more interconnected, things will essentially "socialize" and need ways to connect like a "Facebook for things." However, this raises challenges around data protection, privacy, and restoring trust as personal data is increasingly collected. The presentation argues for approaches like co-compliance, trusted shared parties, and policies/education to address these challenges in a responsible way.
