Following the continued fallout of a massive data scandal at Facebook, we're left wondering about how equipped African government and citizens are to handle and protect private information. Are there laws in place to protect our privacy? Can they be implemented appropriately? What does GDPR mean for technology companies across the continent? We chat with Information Security Expert, Bernard Wanyama, and Linet Kwamboka the Founder/CEO of DataScience Ltd. in Kenya about all things data privacy.
Do we need more government regulation? Should we care about our data being used to decide what cornflakes we eat and who we vote for? What would this mean for Freedom of Expression and Right to Privacy? Bernard and Linet bring different and at time conflicting perspectives on how to deal with data privacy issues in the continent.
