What this episode is about and why you should care

A few weeks ago on Forbes, I wrote an article called, Privacy Is Completely And Utterly Dead, And We Killed It, as a follow up to that article I wanted to do a podcast. To me, it feels like we’re in a place where privacy and security is not only dead but we, as people, are kind of helping facilitate the death of privacy and security.

This whole series on privacy and security was inspired by the movie “Terms and Conditions may Apply” which provides a fascinating look at how organizations such as Google, Amazon, Twitter, or Facebook are collecting, and using information that users may or may not be aware that they are giving away. It got me thinking, “Is privacy and security dead?” We’re signing away our information every time we use our iPhone, iTunes, Google, or Facebook yet we all keep doing it.

To help discuss this topic, I decided to talk to Raj Samani, the EMEA Chief Technical Officer at McAfee and member of the Advisory Group on Internet Security at the EUROPOL CyberCrime Centre.
