Episode Description

Too many children go online without realizing the security and privacy risks. Most parents and teachers do not provide enough guidance to children about online security, privacy, and cyberbullying. We all, as a society, need to do a better job at addressing children’s online risks. • How have online cyberbullying & cybersecurity risks evolved over the years? • What are some real-life examples of children being physically hurt as a result of their online activities? • What are the weakest links that bring security & privacy risks to children online? • Who are schools’ underappreciated superheroes helping children reduce online safety and privacy risks? • Does Section 230 under the Communications Decency Act hurt or help children's online safety & privacy? • How can we get the power of the internet without the perils of the internet? Tune in to hear Rebecca discuss the answers to these questions and more with Parry Aftab, The Kids’ Internet Lawyer.

Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor

New shows the first Saturday of each month at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
