The Collision tech conference is one of the biggest for start-ups as well as large tech companies in the world, and plenty of VCs and other investors also attend to present and learn about the latest trends and technologies.  Cambridge Analytica data scandal and the upcoming May 25 deadline for companies to comply with Europe's new data privacy rules had plenty of companies and investors thinking about handling and securing their user data, and whether new regulations might be coming in the U.S. One of the most interesting perspectives on this was given by Ragy Thomas, the founder and CEO of Sprinklr, a company that helps manage social media for some of the largest brands in the world.  While his analysis seemed a bit overly sanguine to me, given how fundamentally companies like Facebook and Google rely on user data to generate such vast amounts of targeted advertising, it bears taking into account as America's tech giants seek to respond to this issue.
