Is Privacy Dead? Or Are We Just Giving Up? I had a fascinating conversation with Ron De Jesus, Field Chief Privacy Officer at Transcend, on the latest Today in Tech. We dove into the current state of data privacy—and more importantly, whether individuals and companies still have a fighting chance. Here’s the hard truth: Most people have given up. They've either accepted that “everything’s already out there” or shrugged off concerns with “I’ve got nothing to hide.” But as Ron says in the episode: That’s a dangerous mindset. We also talked about: * Why so many people are numb to privacy violations * How companies should be more transparent—but often aren’t * Practical steps you can take to reduce your digital footprint * Whether AI will make things better… or way worse * What to tell your eye-rolling teen when you bring up TikTok 😅 * Also, Ron has a TikTok account where he talks privacy. If you care about protecting your data — or just want to know how to fight back against surveillance culture and shady data practices—this episode is for you. ▶️ Watch the full episode here: https://trib.al/EUHvyHC #TodayInTech #Privacy #DataProtection #Cybersecurity #AI #DigitalRights #TechPolicy Keith Shaw
