Founded by U2’s Bono in 2002, Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa (or “DATA”) is a multinational non-government organization created in London with activists from the Jubilee 2000 Drop the Debt campaign.
It was created for the purpose of obtaining equality and justice for Africa through debt relief, adjusting trade rules which burden Africa, and eliminating the African AIDS epidemic.
In 2007, DATA and Bono were jointly awarded the National Constitution Center's 2007 Liberty Medal.
Start-up funds came from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, financier George Soros, and technology entrepreneur Edward W. Scott.
DATA is currently placing most of its resources into supporting the ONE Campaign.

"Suck my data bitch!"
"Holy shit! Dr. Data and Mr. Theta are two badass datas, i heard they just layed a legendary ass-kicking on some guy named Huygen (da muddafucka)"
(in reference to quantum physics) "Dumb Data (Dd) times Liquid Theta (Lt) = Double Data (2d)"

A poor and thinly veiled attempt by internet service providers to keep costs down and limit services by blaming users for using "too much bandwidth", despite receiving billions in government subsidies meant to expand and improve national internet infrastructure, but which were instead maliciously pocketed by internet service executives.
Customer: "How the fuck am I over my monthly data cap?"
Internet Service Representative "If you would just look right here in the contract you signed, we can arbitrarily fuck you over by making up whatever numbers we want. And we don't care if we get caught because whatever penalties we pay is a tiny fraction of the profit we make from our illegal schemes."
