On the back of the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica breaches, James sits down with longtime friend of the show, Joel Drapper, to have a good long talk about all things privacy and security.
We chat about what went wrong with Facebook’s privacy and how much information they have about you, discuss what other companies are collecting and how they use it and on the back of this discuss why privacy is so important to us, even if we have nothing to hide. Then we look at security issues like your choice of passwords, security updates for not only your devices but also your routers and network gear.
