"In 2013, Nicole Junkermann was part of a group of investors in Songza, an application developed to provide playlists and due to the company’s popularity in 2014, Google announced its acquisition of Songza, for which it paid an estimated $39 million"

Google Buys Songza

"Songza uses information about the user and context to determine the best playlists for you at any given time, all of which are curated by music experts"

"Very few services look to human curation to enhance the music experience — Pandora, Spotify, and other big players rely heavily on algorithms — making this one of the key selling points of the service. Plus, Songza has tons of data around what people like to listen to based on the time of day, the weather, location, and activity, which can be immensely valuable to a company like Google who is looking to seamlessly integrate technology into every corner of your life."

Yeah, I noticed that way back, only now, instead of "recommended for you", it has turned into, 'We are Shoving this Down your Throat,' app.

"On June 16th 2019, Nicole Junkerman’s NJF holdings website issued an article under the title “London Hospital’s Could Offer Patient Data to Google-backed AI Startup in a Bid to Develop Better Drugs.” It was exactly as I had expected. The convoluted title was celebrating the fact that OWKIN had already been promised NHS patient data, and they’re already confidently announcing it to their investors, and their other associates. We need to call for Matt Hancock to remove Nicole Junkermann from the Healthtech Advisory Board as of immediate effect, and we should have an inquiry into how NHS data can be protected from hostile foreign intelligence agencies."
