Happy data privacy day,!
To commemorate today's data privacy day, I gave a 60-min talk about data privacy at work, where I covered:
- Defining privacy
- Why privacy matters
- Debunking privacy myths
- Practical privacy tips
It was geared towards an audience with general interest but low technical knowledge about the space, so I kept the contents pretty high-level and only offered tips centered around easy but significant wins (ex: stop using Google Chrome). I also made heavy use of memes for my images to keep the conversation from getting too serious.
A total of around 40 people participated, and I think it was received pretty well and it generated some pretty interesting discussions. I enjoyed sparking conversation about the topic of data privacy, and I hope I achieved my aim to have the listeners come out of the talk with a better idea of why privacy matters, and the small things they can do to protect their data.
If you were to do something similar, what other topics would you cover?
