Have a listen here.

Associate Director of Technology Studies Ryan Radia talks about how to prevent data privacy violations in the Internet age. Your data may be safe if it’s stored on your personal hard drive.

Radia suggests some reforms to outdated laws to better reflect today’s technological realities.
