In this week's Tech Tuesday Steven Sykes and host Paul Brennan explore the risks of biometric technologies, government surveillance, and declining digital privacy. They reflect on concerns raised in their recent biometrics webinar, touching on issues like insecure facial recognition trials, Microsoft's intrusive “Recall” feature on Windows 11, and the UK Government's failed bid to access Apple's encrypted data. Steven warns that security without privacy is meaningless, ending with a vivid analogy about glass-walled public toilets to drive the point home.
