Neste mês de março, o Camada 8 traz mais um episódio especial e está imperdível. Tivemos o prazer de conversar com Felipe Barbosa, especialista em DNS na InternetNZ, a instituição responsável por gerenciar os domínios .NZ na Nova Zelândia. Felipe falou sobre os domínios .NZ, explicando desde a sua origem e evolução, até o papel da InternetNZ em sua administração. O especialista também comentou sobre quem pode registrar um .NZ e quais os critérios para esse registro, falou sobre os domínios mais populares, especificidades técnicas, medidas de segurança utilizadas, e ainda abordou um pouco os aspectos culturais da cultura neozelandesa. Dê o play e fique por dentro desses e muitos outros assuntos que foram abordados na entrevista de uma forma descontraída. Este é um novo episódio do nosso quadro Roteamento de Ideias.

The Department of Internal Affairs is proposing making traditional and online media subject to the same rules, with current regulations deemed inadequate for many social media platforms. At the moment, the exact same content is subject to different rules depending on where it is published. New Zealanders are being urged to share situations when they've been harmed via the Internet, before public consultation on the proposal closes at the end of July. The InternetNZ chief executive, Vivien Maidaborn, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
InternetNZ has released the findings of a systemic review into racism in the organisation, following an incident last year involving a video threatening violence against Maori. Kathryn speaks to Dr Karaitiana Taiuru, an academic and Maori digital rights expert. She is also joined by InternetNZ's chief executive, Viv Maidaborn.
Internet domains and how they work and who administers them is something that is over my head. We know of .co.nz and .com and .nz. That last one - .nz - is run by InternetNZ which has just upgraded the way it runs the .nz domain. It's moved to the CIRA platform, which run Canada's .ca and Ireland's .ie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We like to look at issues from different perspectives, and today we look at Netsafe's new code of conduct. The not-for-profit says it will make platforms more accountable for the content they publish. Social media giants Meta, Google, TikTok, Amazon and Twitter have all voluntarily signed up, but user-advocate groups have described the new rules as ‘vague' and lacking bite. For their takes on the debate, we'll talk to Netsafe's CEO Brent Cary and InternetNZ's CEO Andrew Cushen See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A cyber attack has created nationwide internet outages - and major working from home headaches - this afternoon. Internet infrastructure provider Vocus - which operates Orcon, Slingshot. Flip, and Stuff Fibre - was hit just after 1pm, with internet out for around an hour. Jean Bell filed this report.
Humphrey Hanley is a content-creator, motivational Twitch partner and accessibility advocate ~ I’d just like to take a moment to say - we’ve reached episode 30. I can’t quite believe that since February 4th 2020, myself and my boyfriend, Tom, have managed to release a new episode of Selfie Reflective every week. Each week has brought a brand new research and content-development project - a new guest, a new theme, a new release - and, based on feedback, this podcast is doing exactly what I hoped it would - encouraging critical thinking around our social media and digital spaces. I’d like to say thanks to Tom for selflessly editing and finessing every single one of the episodes. He’s also found many-a-great-guest along the way. I’d like to thank InternetNZ who were early supporters of the show. I’d like to thank the guests who have committed their time and shared their expertise and stories so generously to all of us listening. And of course, I’d like to thank you for choosing to listen to this independent, NZ-grown grassroots podcast. I wish we could have these conversations together over beers and fries - maybe one day in the future. As always, if you’d like to show your appreciation for the show, subscribe and leave a rating and review in your favourite podcast app. In case you’d like to shout Tom and I a coffee so we can continue to stay up late and edit more episodes for as long as possible, I’ve also recently launched a little Patreon account, where you can sign up and send us a small donation each month. That link is in the bio. If you aren’t in a position to support financially, no worries, ratings and reviews really do feed our souls. We’ve got some more to uncover yet - so let’s get on with it. We’ve spoken to many issues on this show that centre around social media. There’s no denying that trends like diet culture and disinformation are incredibly important things to dissect, critique and examine on our online spaces. But for episode 30, I wanted to bring someone who is able to speak to the positive aspects of tech and social media that we may not always think about. This person’s name is Humphrey Hanley, and I met him just over a week ago in an elevator. We were both heading up to the InternetNZ offices. The team there were putting on a lunch for the content creators that they support - one of those creators is me, and another is Humphrey. We ended up getting on really well immediately, and after the event even grabbed a beer so we could continue to talk about social media and technology - which, yes, I also do in my spare time... In a second I’ll hand over to Humphrey so he can tell you about his background and story in his own words - but Humphrey’s thoughts on and relationship to technology might be a little different than some of the perspectives and ideas that we’re used to hearing about. Why? Because Humphrey is a passionate digital content creator, a Motivational Twitch Partner, Coffee Drinker, Husband, Videographer, Photographer, and Drone Pilot - with fragile skin and no hands. In this episode, Humphrey speaks to accessibility, accessibility advocacy, and why for him the internet and social media were not just life-changing - but life-saving. Enjoy the show. Shownotes: Follow the inspirational. Humphrey on Twitter or Twitch, or check out his skillset and get in touch with him to support your accessibility initiatives via his website. Email any reflections on this show to selfiereflective@gmail.com. Share the episode on Twitter and tag @SelfieReflect, or on Instagram stories and tag @lucyohello. Don't forget, you can now also support Selfie Reflective on Pateron! Thanks so much in advance.
Andrew Cushen is the Engagement Director at InternetNZ and leads the Community, Events and Communications teams ~ I speak for myself when I say that I take the internet and everything it affords for granted. These days, at least in terms of access, it’s not often that I think twice about grabbing my smartphone, messaging a friend, scrolling through apps, purchasing something via online banking or downloading and listening to a podcast (hi!) - but as we’ll explore today, not everyone is included in this powerful internet space. And not being included can have massive repercussions, which will only increase as our lives and our world barrel towards an increasingly digital future. Our guest today is the very engaging Engagement Director of InternetNZ, Andrew Cushen, who has over 15 years experience in managing relationships, messages and issues across the Internet, telco and tech sectors. InternetNZ is a non-profit organization who are the guardians of the .nz domain names. They also have the social mission of creating an internet for New Zealanders that is safe, accessible and good, and a big part of their work advocates for digital inclusion. In this episode, Andrew and I discuss what digital inclusion means, what some of the different elements of digital inclusion are and the straightforward, challenging and sometimes complex hurdles that exist within each of those elements. This conversation with Andrew makes it hugely apparent that although many of us can leverage and do enjoy what the internet affords, in an increasingly digital world, we must ensure that we are not leaving anyone behind - but of equal importance is making sure that the internet is a safe and trustworthy place in which to be. Although InternetNZ is a New Zealand based organization, this episode may provide some inspiration for ideas to pursue in relation to digital inclusion wherever you are in the world. Shownotes: You can learn more about InternetNZ by checking out their website. For specific info about Digital Inclusion, click here. InternetNZ also support this show, which means that I am able to keep creating and you are able to keep listening to the different perspectives that are presented here at Selfie Reflective - so on behalf of us all, thanks a tonne, InternetNZ!

InternetNZ has slammed the government's proposal to set up a nationwide internet filter which would block out harmful content online. The filter is being considered as part of the government's wider response to the Christchurch mosque shootings, after the shooter livestreamed the attack. InternetNZ says a web filter contradicts the Prime Minister's assurance of a free and open internet under the Christchurch Call. Jordan Carter is the chief executive of InternetNZ. He speaks to Corin Dann.

Jordan Carter, first of our 5th birthday re-visits, is the Chief Executive at InternetNZ and was last on the show back in October 2017, "Jordan Carter – The plan is not to have a plan".Since then he's got a 'new' job, restructured the organisation, and been a part of the Prime Minister's "Christchurch Call" in reaction to the terrorist shootings earlier this year.Jordan has a LOT to catch us up on so listen in and then get along to Nethui 2019 at Wellington's Te Papa to continue the conversations ...- https://mobile.twitter.com/jordantcarter- https://nz.linkedin.com/in/jordan-carter-ba988a4- https://2019.nethui.nz/- https://mobile.twitter.com/InternetNZ/status/1175508766676201472- https://internetnz.nz/blog/checking-christchurch-call- https://internetnz.nz/------------------------------------------------------Behind the scenes of tech, media, and startups, hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others.

The billionaire boss of Twitter - who flew in this week to update the Christchurch Call - couldn't keep his own account free of extremist stuff from hackers recently. Six months after social media was weaponised in Christchurch, is it time for rules to block extremist posts on online platforms in New Zealand?

He rides an e-bike, he made money out of Bitcoin but wouldn't touch it now, and he's been involved in some pretty big deals behind the scenes with some iconic Kiwi businesses, but you may have never heard of Lance Wiggs. Lance, like many players in the venture capitalism space are smart cookies who know their stuff - but are busy behind the scenes making it all happen. Punakaiki Fund Limited makes long-term investments into high-growth, revenue-generating New Zealand companies. They currently hold $41 million in assets (September 2018) and have investments in 20 Portfolio Companies. One of the reasons we had Lance on the show is that Punakaiki Fund is making a retail offer to the public, and everyday investors can access something within a short window of time. For as little as $215 you can also own a slice of the action but before you do anything, please read this and ideally seek out your own independent investment advice. (The following is an excerpt from the PDS) Lance Wiggs is the primary contact for most of the existing and new investments, and is a director of 11 of Punakaiki Fund’s Portfolio Companies. He was formerly a director of Linewize until his resignation following its acquisition by Family Zone in late 2017, and of Devoli until early 2017, when he was replaced by Chris Humphreys. Lance and Chris commenced working on what would become LWCM and Punakaiki Fund in late 2012, and together they have made 80 different investment placements in the four and a half years since the formal launch of Punakaiki Fund in April 2014. Lance combines a wide variety of global experience with helping high-growth companies in New Zealand. Lance completed three years of contracting to New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s (NZTE) Better by Capital programme in early 2017, where he helped over 100 companies of all stages become more 'invest-able' through intensive workshops. He now occasionally assists clients of NZTE Investments, with Lance holding a contract with NZTE to be retained on an ad-hoc basis. Lance was also formerly a practitioner with the NZTE Better by Design programme. Lance is a member of two Return on Science Investment Committees, ICT where he was the Chair for several years, and Physical Science. These committees, convened by Auckland University’s UniServices, make investment recommendations and provide advice to pre-commercial stage researchers and companies. Lance was the investment-banking advisor for Trade Me on its sale to Fairfax Media, and has advised a large number of local early-stage companies over many years. He was an Engagement Manager with McKinsey & Company in Washington DC, contracted to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London and consulted to BHP Billiton plants in South Africa, Australia and Mozambique. Lance was also an elected Councillor for InternetNZ, where he was a member of the Audit Committee. Lance has an MBA from Yale University (Strategy, Finance) and a Bachelor of Technology (Hons, Product Development) from Massey University. He has been a regular judge for the Hi-Tech Awards, BNZ Start-up Alley and other events. Lance has a number of active and inactive private investments, made before Punakaiki Fund was founded. The Manager Punakaiki Fund’s manager is Lance Wiggs Capital Management Limited (“LWCM”), owned by Lance Wiggs and Chris Humphreys. Lance and Chris provide a combination of finance and business experience in the technology, internet and design-led sectors, and are joined by two staff in their Auckland office.
