Stuart Langridge, Jono Bacon, and Jeremy Garcia present Bad Voltage, in which the Mona Lisa is bobbins, it is important to have your privacy policy meet the overall goals you’re pushing, and:

[00:01:00] There’s a new site launched calling for a ban on facial recognition. Should it be banned? There are dangers here, but perhaps the genie is out of the bottle on this one; what needs to be done?
[00:30:30] More than 1,000 Android apps harvest data even after you deny permissions. iOS has similar issues. Is this just a bug, or a symptom of a more deep-seated malaise? And what, if anything, can and should be done about it?
[00:44:13] British Airways faces record £183m fine for data breach; it’s the biggest penalty from the UK’s ICO ever
