Episode 41: Privacy Online
Listen (25 min, 39 seconds)The Internet is a haven for all things weird and wonderful and to be honest, who hasn't used the Internet to search for something illicit or disturbing? However, wouldn't you hate that search to be used against you in the future when trying to find a job, get credit or even a relationship? The issue here is that the Internet is no longer private and your daily searches and dubious nuances are available to be harvested for potentially nefarious purposes.
What information is being harvested from your computer and what is being done with this information? This week on The Digital Edge we speak to privacy experts to find out.
We're joined by Dominic White of Deloitte Security, Lillie Coney of privacy rights group EPIC, Gian Visser of ISP Afrihost and Pria Chetty a technology and innovation lawyer. We also speak to Richard Mulholland of Missing Link in our "60-second pitch section and have a special chat with head of the OPA, Adrian Hewlett. As always, Kerry-Anne Gilowey joins us for a fun filled look at the news.
