IoT and data protection
Internet of tThings is set to dramatically change how we work and play. Tech commentator and INQUIRER writer Chris Merriman has today decided that the Internet of Things will turn us all into mind readers; while Louise Taylor, senior associate at international law firm Taylor Wessing, notes that the IoT industry will need to gain and guarantee our trust in order to succeed. On Thursday, Merriman made the point that we need to concentrate on educating people on how to share information responsibily to maintain privacy in the IoT era, while Taylor argued that the privacy policies required to manage IoT data could actually have the effect of reinforcing the importance of data protection.
