Скачать или смотреть Digital Safety and Security | Understanding Privacy, Data Breaches & Online Tracking

This session provides a practical and interactive introduction to privacy in the digital age. Drawing from real-world examples and live demonstrations, the speaker unpacks what privacy truly means, why it matters, and how personal and sensitive information is constantly at risk online.

The talk explains the difference between data breaches and data leaks, how user profiling works, and why information you never explicitly shared such as income level, behaviour, or preferences can still be inferred and exploited. Participants are guided through real breach repositories to understand the scale of global data exposure and how everyday platforms collect, share, and monetise user data through trackers and APIs.

The session also highlights how browsing behaviour alone can identify users across platforms, even without logging in, and introduces practical tools like privacy-focused browsers, tracker blockers, and ad blockers to reduce surveillance and profiling.

Designed for students, journalists, lawyers, activists, and everyday internet users, this video builds essential awareness around digital rights, consent, online risks, and personal data protection, empowering viewers to navigate the internet more safely and consciously.
