Episode 44: Brainlink’s Raj Goel on Privacy in the Age of Social Media and Big Data

Since the revelation that Cambridge Analytica harvested data from millions of Facebook accounts, people from Main Street to Capitol Hill are asking what privacy means in the age of social media. Many politicians are calling for new regulations to restrict what information companies can collect from their online users as well as what they can do with that data. Raj Goel, CTO and founder of security MSP Brainlink, and author of “UNPLUGGED Luddite's Guide To CyberSecurity.: What To Teach Your Kids & Grandparents Before They Access The Internet,” joins Pod2112 about the need for regulations to govern how companies gather and use personal data without crippling the ability to gather the raw material for beneficial technologies, such as Big Data.
