I worry about the elderly and those that are less tech savvy. Sadly they all yoo often fall prey to online scams and other threats looking to take their hard earned cash off them . As painful as it can be, take the time out to help them verify email addresses and not respond to cold calls asking for credit card details or other PII. Hopefully someone pays it forward to you in your senior years! Be a good cyber citizen!

Do you think there's a market for individuals and small businesses paying for consulting around online privacy, implementing VPNs, password keeps and dark net monitoring, education around data privacy / data breach awareness etc? #asknostr

I'm developing a nice bot army of followers. Feels like I'm calling into the void.

Kinda creepy really. #socialmedia #onlineprivacy #privacy

I'm more than a little concerned about how readily people will film and take photos in public and upload it online without a consideration for anyone's privacy. Sporting clubs and education facilities are big offenders for this grabbing candid photos of young people for their social media without casting a thought to the wishes of the young person or that of their family. If you opt out you're made to feel like you're being difficult or unreasonable. Not everything has to be immortalized online. #privacy

How to protect children's online privacy when sharing photos at home, school, and online.

AI can be fun but some videos should come with a warning. I've seriously had to tell a couple of older folk this week that the videos they had forwarded me weren't dogs on roller skates and that they were infact watching AI. They still didn't believe me.
