The End of the Internet Bargain?
Listen now
Description
Who gets to control your personal data on the internet? Ed Butler and guests discuss the future of data privacy. With the scandals over use of our personal data by big groups like Facebook, Ed asks the experts whether our whole relationship with internet-based services could be breaking down? Could the old grand bargain - the giving of our personal data for free to online firms, in return for free services - be about to end? Ed hears from three people steeped in years of data expertise, to explore the future of online privacy.
