The End of the Internet Bargain?
Who gets to control your personal data on the internet? Ed Butler and guests discuss the future of data privacy.

Could the old grand bargain - the giving of our personal data for free to online firms, in return for free services - be about to end? Ed hears from three people steeped in years of data expertise, to explore the future of online privacy.
