On this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal and Ralph O’Brien bring you the final episode - chock full of privacy goodness: episode 183 of Serious Privacy. And what a year it has been.  With over 44,000 downloads just this season, this was our most successful year to date. We missed top 10% on #Buzzsprout by about 5 downloads a week - so share and care. But of course, the year was not remarkable because of the number of downloads, but because of all the things that happened. From new legislation in India, to the adoption of the data privacy thingy, from yet again failed negotiations on the European ePrivacy Regulation to still no new data protection laws in Canada and the UK, the world of privacy and data protection is keeping all of us busy. 
Top episodes are:

5. We’re back and already loving season 4

4.Data Transfers: Will we ever learn? with Laura Dreschler

3.This is the year that was - final episode of 2022

2. Mega Meta Privacy with Romain Robert and Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna (#1 when we started recording…and it flipped)

1. AI: not so intelligent and not so artificial

Favorites include: 

Tackling the Tough Topics: CSAM (Dr. Teresa Quintel and Alexander Hanff); Learning on the Run: Lets go Apprenticing (Emma Godfree); Passionate Compassion - Data Protection in Guernsey (Emma Martins); Coulda woulda shoulda - a talk on Ethics; Live from Stockholm at NPA23!; If it's broken, fix it (UK breaches with Ralph O'Brien); and Vendor Management - it's a real thing, and The truth and nothing but the truth: Europol (with Daniel Drewer and Jan Ellerman).

Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal connect with Woodrow Hartzog, Professor of Law at the Boston University School of Law. He also has some other academic roles, including at Washington University, Harvard and Stanford. His research focuses on privacy, media, and technology. Recently, professor Hartzog testified before the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. Senate in a hearing on Oversight and Legislation on Artificial Intelligence. 

Last summer, Serious Privacy released an episode on Artificial Intelligence in the wake of the European Parliament’s adoption of the EU AI Act. And although negotiations in Europe are still ongoing, it seems agreement on this new law is close. In recent weeks, the White House has released a blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, as well as an Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. And on the day we record this episode, 1 November 2023, the UK Government hosted an AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park.

On 26 September 2023, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal recorded the first ever Serious Privacy Live, during the Nordic Privacy Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. In the past eight years, the NPA, organised by the Swedish Data Protection Forum, has become a staple on the European conference calendar. The podcast was the opening of the second conference day, with the request to look back on what was discussed during the first day, and look ahead at day two. This episode is the recording of the live podcast, and will discuss the position of the Nordic data protection authorities (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland), the development and regulation of Artificial Intelligence, and the forthcoming evaluation of the GDPR.

Next week, you'll hear another episode from the NPA with interviews we did during the conference breaks.

On this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal talk about children's data, following the recent decision of the Irish Data Protection Commission in the TikTok case. Apart from a fine of 345 million Euro, the authority also ordered TikTok to change some of their policies, especially where children are concerned. Reason enough for us to dive a little deeper into children's data, age appropriate design, and what consent for children and their parents should look like.

On this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal tackle a topic that much trigger strong reactions, Child Sexual Abuse Materials or CSAM. Our guests today have worked a lot on this topic. Dr Teresa Quintel is attached to Maastricht University and mainly works on issues related to data protection in the law enforcement sector. Alexander Hanff is a long-time privacy activist. Both were participants in a panel discussion on the same topic during this year’s CPDP Conference in Brussels, and during today’s episode, you will learn why.

In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal connect with Tom Kemp, a Silicon Valley based author, entrepreneur, investor, and policy advisor. He founded a cybersecurity cloud provider and was one of the drivers behind the campaign to adopt the CPRA in California. And now he has written a book containing big tech that is out later this summer.

Whether we look at the whole range of new legal requirements, from the European Digital Services and Market Acts, to the US state privacy laws, to regulatory enforcement decisions and discussions about breaking up some of the very large online platforms, big tech is under fire.

And our guest today has a view on these issues and is not shy to share it. We discuss the overcollection and weaponization of our most sensitive data, problematic ways Big Tech uses AI to process and act upon our data, and also the stifling of competition and entrepreneurship due to Big Tech's dominant market positions. He also discusses some practical matters such as how to block trackers on your personal devices along with a history of the CPRA.

In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Crawford & Company connected with two key individuals at Europol:  Daniel Drewer who is the head of Europol's data protection office and Jan Ellerman, one of the senior experts. Europol isn’t quite the way it is portrayed in the movies, so tune in for the real story.

You can probably imagine the amount of personal data that is needed to make all the crime analysis. Because of that, Europol for a long time already claims to have one of the most robust data protection frameworks in the world of law enforcement. Our guests today are responsible for that framework. Daniel and Jan talk about what it means to protect personal data in a law enforcement context, when every piece of personal data could be the missing piece of the puzzle.

More information on the Eden conference later this year, is available here.
