The coming privacy crisis on the Internet of Things | Alasdair Allan | TEDxExeterSalon

Mark Zuckerberg may have declared that privacy is no longer a social norm, but Alasdair Allan believes a backlash is coming. In this talk, he explores how the internet has changed the concept of ownership and explains why the Internet of Things – combined with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation – could soon determine whether we have any privacy at all.
Alasdair is a scientist, author, hacker and journalist.
