S3 Ep1 – Nothing to Hide, Nothing to Fear?


Listen Later

Today we launch a brand new series on the podcast, The Surveillance Series. In this series we explore the societal and legal issues surrounding surveillance in the public sector for law enforcement purposes and public security. We seek to provide some answers to the question “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” in the context of surveillance. In episode 1 of the Surveillance Series, we take a deep dive into Encryption bans and discuss the impact of this on privacy and data protection. We explore the adoption of encryption bans in different jurisdictions include the European Union, America, Austria, South Africa and Egypt.
