Things I Think About

If you have nothing to hide then, why should you care about your online privacy? I asked Rob Shavell about that and so many other privacy-related issues. Among them, the future identity theft epidemic spurred on by well-meaning parents sharing everything on social media, the inevitable regret tomorrow from being on Only Fans today, social media cancellation insurance, all the information that data brokers have on you and at what point should we give up our privacy for the sake of security? Plus, the algorithm is gonna get you!  This is one episode you do not want to miss.
