The arrest of Telegram Co-Founder and CEO Pavel Durov in France has shocked many around the world. Privacy advocates are wondering if this event signals a change in how Western governments will start treating encrypted communications apps. If corporate executives can be held criminally accountable for crimes committed and/or organized on their apps, how far does this go? Who might be next? In this episode of Privacy Files, we formed a panel to discuss the significance of Durov's arrest and what the future might hold personal privacy. In the interest of seeking out a wide variety of viewpoints, the panel is comprised of three generational cohorts: Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z. We use the arrest as a jumping off point to dive into a deeper conversation about what privacy means and why people should care about it in the first place. This discussion is designed to get you to think more critically about the importance privacy plays in our lives and why we should not take it for granted.
