Listen "#56 Privacy is dead"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we finally weigh in on a debate that arises frequently - is privacy dead?
Arj and Jordan explore the apparent contradiction between people's stated desire for privacy and their behaviours that accept companies or technologies that repeatedly fall short of acceptable privacy practices. They look at several studies and experiments that help explain why it's not reasonable to leave safeguarding of privacy up to individuals alone.
