In this episode, Caroline speaks with Dr Hossam Elshenraki about how people use social media, mobile apps, and smart technology — and the risks that often go unnoticed. The conversation explores privacy, data access, and the difference between analysis and encryption in everyday digital life, alongside the hidden costs of “free” apps and who can really see personal information. The focus is on understanding online safety without fear, and recognising where risk can emerge.
Content note: This episode includes discussion of child trafficking and may be distressing for some listeners. Due to the remote recording, occasional audio interference is present.
