E036 - Is the Fight for Privacy Dead? 2024 Edition (Part 1)

Is the Fight for Privacy Still Alive? – A Special Look Back In this special edition of Socializing Security, Milou takes listeners on a retrospective journey through 2024, revisiting one of the podcast’s most thought-provoking questions: Is there still really a fight for privacy? Inspired by a conversation with a CTO who claimed privacy was a lost battle and security had taken center stage, Milou reflects on the diverse perspectives shared by guests throughout the past year. This episode compiles compelling insights from the Socializing Network—a lineup of expert speakers who weighed in on whether privacy is still worth fighting for or if it has already been overshadowed by broader security concerns. With so many incredible voices and thought-provoking answers, this discussion is just the beginning. Stay tuned for Part Two next week, where even more industry leaders share their take on privacy in the modern era.
