In this episode of Out Loud we are joined by founder of BestVPN.com Pete Zaborsky. Patrick and Pete discuss the security and privacy offered when using the internet either for communication or general browsing. Is the internet still offering the benefits that it was designed initially to allow, or has it become a tool for the establishment to exploit users.
From a position of experience, Pete explains how the everyday user is generally unaware of how much of their data is tracked online and who is tracking and using the information.
We then consider some of the ramifications of the growing number of scandals around data leeks and misuse such as the recent Cambridge Analytica Facebook case.
There are a number of emerging technologies and platforms that might be staring to change the way people communicate online. Pete considers Blockchain and the potential use cases for that technology that could enable more private communication and browsing.
