What would you do if your mother or mother-in-law kept uploading pictures of your newborn baby? Probably nothing. But for a woman in Netherlands, it was a big deal. So big that she reported her mother to the Dutch data protection authority. This episode discusses how our actions that we count as nothing, affect the privacy of others, creating a domino effect that puts many others at risk.

It involves things as simple as uploading someone's picture, tagging them, failing to blur CCTV camera footage or positioning it in public, sharing document templates without redacting personal details, sharing location and genomic data. Its not just about you. There are others who could be exposed because of things you don't do right.

The discussion features Ridwan Oloyede, our guest from EP#6 - The Cookie Episode. Ridwan is the Co-Founder of Tech Hive Advisory where he leads the technology policy team. He advises on the global aspects of cybersecurity policy, data protection and privacy laws, digital health and digital ethics. 

Ridwan is a Fellow of Information Privacy with the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and a Research Fellow at the African Academic Network on Internet Policy (AANOIP).
