In this episode of Reimagining Cyber we  tackle two seismic shifts in digital security: the fight over encryption and the rise in quantum computing. First up, the UK's aggressive push against encryption. With legislation like the Investigatory Powers Act and the Online Safety Bill, the UK government is pressuring tech giants to create backdoors for law enforcement. But what happens when those backdoors fall into the wrong hands? Cybersecurity expert Tyler Moffitt doesn't mince words: “The moment you create a backdoor for the government, you open it up to everybody—cybercriminals, rogue states, you name it.” Apple initially took a hard stance, threatening to pull iMessage and FaceTime from the UK. But in a move that sent ripples through the industry, they recently scaled back their Advanced Data Protection feature for UK users. Is the result a chilling precedent that other governments may soon follow?If that weren't enough, encryption's future faces another existential threat—quantum computing. Even the strongest cryptographic methods in use today could become obsolete once quantum processors reach critical mass. To explore this, we revisit Episode 43: Inside the Fight to Protect Data from Quantum Computers, featuring veteran cryptographic engineer Terence Spies. He warns that the fundamental rules of encryption could soon change forever. “Unlike other areas of software, cryptography is about proving what can't happen,” Spies explains. “Quantum computing changes that equation entirely.”With quantum breakthroughs on the horizon, governments and enterprises must scramble to adopt post-quantum cryptography—before it's too late. Transitioning away from RSA and elliptic-curve encryption isn't just a technical challenge; it's a bureaucratic and logistical nightmare that could take decades. And yet, with quantum attacks potentially capable of breaking today's encryption in mere hours, the race is on to secure our digital future.Listen to the full episode of Reimagining Cyber and stay ahead of the encryption debate.

As Europe looks on in disbelief, Donald Trump has been throwing his geopolitical weight around. A monumental meeting with Russia to discuss ending the war in Ukraine was held without Ukraine or Europe.Trump then branded Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator” and accused Ukraine of starting the conflict. Keir Starmer has said he is “ready and willing” to put UK troops on the ground in Ukraine. But is this the answer? And as shares in major arms manufacturers soar, who's profiting? Nish and Coco chew it over. And from war to love - loneliness is on the rise but according to journalist and author Shon Faye, the problem isn't us, it's capitalism. Phew! She joins Nish and Coco to discuss the highly politicised terrain of modern romance - and why it eludes us.Later, Tortoise tech reporter Patricia Clarke calls in to discuss what the government can do about our unhealthy social media habits and if the Online Safety Bill holds up.And Starmer has been ambushed by tractor-driving farmers blasting out… “Sandstorm” by Darude.

It was looking like Congress had few plans to take up tech bills before the end of the year. But in Washington, one weekend and a couple of tweets can make a world of difference. Senators struck a deal to pony up money for key tech and telecom programs. And a major kids online safety bill may have gotten a much-needed boost from Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. On POLITICO Tech, health tech reporter Ruth Reader joins to discuss whether Trump world support can get that bill over the finish line.

The UK's Online Safety Bill has been in the pipeline for a number of years now, and is currently being considered by the House of Lords. The proposed bill has caused a lot of controversy due to its broad ambitions and a perceived threat to people's privacy. But it's been welcomed in some quarters, and in particular by children's charities like the NSPCC, who say that it's needed to tackle grooming and child sexual abuse online. Indeed, the NSPCC says such measures are long overdue and that over 3,500 online sex crimes are likely happening each month that the bill is delayed. How does online grooming happen, and who are the typical targets ? Does this only happen online? How can you identify a child victim ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Liz Entin is an entrepreneur living in NYC and LA. She originally began her career in fashion in both New York and London and now is the founder of Why Get Wasted, a company that helps events, businesses, fashion shows, conferences, and any gathering eliminate waste and be climate friendly. (www.whygetwasted.com)She is also author and podcast host of WTF Just Happened?! which, inspired by a loss, examines scientific evidence of spirituality and an afterlife from a non-woo perspective. (www.wtfjusthappened.net)Liz grew up in NYC, where she was sent to the “top” NYC private (the equivalent of what is called public in the UK) schools, from kindergarten through high school (5 - 18 years old). She always thought of her time there as brutal and knew she was unhappy, but believed the schools were something to get through, in exchange for the huge payoff at the end. Recently, as podcasts on trauma and cults have become popular,  discovering Charles Spencer's book, and this podcast, she has realized how traumatic they were and understood the lifelong damage they caused that she is now working to overcome. She has also come to realize how the NYC private schools idealize and base themselves on the British boarding schools.. She is in the middle of writing a book on her time in these schools titled The Marshmallow Castle - The false promises of the best schools. (www.marshmallowcastle.com / www.schooltrauma.com. Instagram: @the_marshmallow_castle)10 Questions / Talking Points 1 - Specifics I related to from reading Charles Spencer's book.2 - These schools are like cults.3 - Politicians and leaders attend these schools, are damaged, as well as unexposed to the needs of the average person and then bring this lack of empathy and trauma to the country4 - Direct imitation of British accents (unintentionally) and discussing how we are getting as good an education as anyone who attends Eton.5 - Combination of very strict rules, that are meaningless, and complete lawlessness when it comes to cruelty , safety, bullying. Shaming for breaking rules.6 - Insulation from the real world, learning nothing that is useful in the real world, and insulation from other social classes.7 - As a girl, femininity was looked down upon 8 - Gaslighting. Constantly being told how lucky you are to attend. A gaslighting of you and your parents from the school and society.9 - Constantly feeling as if you have to be accomplishing something. Being taught to always strive and not to listen to your needs or body. You are doing something wrong if you are not achieving at every second.  10 - The good of the school and image of the school comes above all else. Treated as a “class traitor” for saying something negative. --- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.

Social media plays a significant role in shaping political debates and, some argue, even influencing election outcomes. Politicians increasingly use platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to communicate directly with the public and run their campaigns. However, this unfiltered communication can sometimes spread misinformation or undermine democratic values.A prime example is incoming US President Donald Trump, who was famously banned from Twitter for glorifying violence but has since returned to X with Elon Musk at the helm. This raises critical questions:How should social media companies handle inflammatory or false claims from politicians?Can they continue to claim they are mere platforms, not publishers, despite the profound impact they have?And, if they challenge politicians' statements, do they risk overstepping their role in a democratic society?To explore these issues, we're joined by Jeff Howard, a professor in this department and the Director of the Digital Speech Lab. Jeff co-authored a recent paper that dives deep into the responsibilities of social media companies when it comes to regulating political speech. Mentioned in this episode:Fisher, S., Kira, B., Arabaghatta Basavaraj, K., & Howard, J.

The Kids Online Safety Act is meant to give kids the option to opt out of certain features on social media platforms. Also, the latest on AI.

We love it when politics goes mainstream... And it did this week when Sunak and Starmer decided to appear on Loose Women and Sunday Brunch, respectively. Jemma and Marina discuss how they both fared, and why one of them went viral - probably because he tried to suggest he was fixing child poverty with an Online Safety Bill.Next up are more culture wars as a result of the 72-gender myth which is resulting in new legislation, despite the only evidence of this being a thing coming from someone's next door neighbour's friend's sister's cat. And you'll be glad to know that it's not just poverty that is spiraling in this country, but Sunak's and his wife's wealth too. Jemma and Marina discuss the growing inequality in the UK and elsewhere, and why soulless Sunak is the last person we need at the helm.Finally, get your patio tables and parasols ready, because Al Fresco dining is about to hit the UK by storm thanks to a new Brexit benefit - apparently. Someone might need to tell Trade Secretary, Kemi Badenoch where the term Al Fresco originates from...Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast

Please be aware, this series will be examining a deadly bombing and we will be discussing details of death and injury. Listener discretion is advised.Examining the Conspiracy Theories Around the Manchester Arena BombingThe 2017 Manchester Arena bombing was a tragic event that left 22 people dead and hundreds more injured. However, in the years since, a number of conspiracy theories have emerged claiming the attack was a hoax. One of the main proponents of this theory is Richard D. Hall, who has produced a book and documentary called "The Night of the Bang" alleging the victims were crisis actors.In this 8-part podcast series, we aim to meticulously examine the claims made by Hall and others, assess the evidence, and uncover the truth behind this divisive event. As content creators, we recognize the responsibility we have to approach these sensitive discussions with great care.The first half of the series will present Hall's arguments and the conspiracy theory in detail. We will then spend the second half deconstructing these claims and determining where the truth lies. This balanced approach is crucial, as conspiracy theories around tragic events can have devastating consequences.We've already seen how these false narratives can fracture communities and lead to the harassment of victims and their families. The recent legal action taken by Manchester Arena survivors Martin and Eve Hibbert against Hall is a landmark case, the first of its kind in the UK against a "disaster troll.”The Hibberts are seeking an injunction to prevent Hall from making similar allegations in the future, as well as damages. Their lawyer has described Hall's actions as "appalling" and hopes this case will set a precedent to better protect survivors of tragedies from such harassment.This issue also highlights the challenges lawmakers and social media platforms face in addressing the spread of disinformation and abuse online. While new legislation like the UK's Online Safety Bill aims to improve user protections, there are still debates over how far such laws can and should go.Ultimately, the Manchester Arena bombing conspiracy theories demonstrate the very real harm that can result when facts are obscured and victims are re-traumatized. As we delve into this complex topic, our goal is to provide a thoughtful, nuanced examination - one that honours the memory of those lost and supports the recovery of the survivors.By rigorously analysing the evidence and ethical implications, we hope to cut through the noise and misinformation, offering listeners a clearer understanding of this tragic event and the importance of responsible journalism in the face of conspiracy theories.Listen to episodes weekly: https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.com/all-episodes/deep-dives/season-2/manchester-arena-bombing-on-trialFind us on your preferred podcast platform: https://pod.link/1629532988 Listen to all 8 parts of the series now: https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy You have questions?

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2023 on Saturday 28 October at Church House, London. Digital devices are so omnipresent that sociologists call today's children ‘Generation Glass'. Our pre-teens have never known a world without tablets and apps. The ubiquity of technology during their formative years risks turning them into ‘screenagers' with high digital literacy but low socialisation and focus. In education, devices are routinely distributed to pupils and the gamification of learning is well-established. Yet pushback is mounting. The controversial Online Safety Bill proposes reams of radical measures drafted specifically to quell fears over children's internet safety. Meanwhile increasing numbers of schools are adopting mobile-phone bans, claiming they improve concentration and mental health while reducing cheating and cyberbullying. Parents' lobby group UsForThem is even pressing for a total ban on phones for all under-16s and grim tobacco-style health warnings on devices. The campaign is endorsed by Katharine Birbalsingh, headteacher and former social mobility tsar, who has equated the threat to youth of mobile phones to that of heroin addiction. But is this all merely a re-heat of the ‘square eyes' moral panic which once beset television? The BBC thinks so: its high-profile Square-Eyed Boy campaign seeks to reassure parents that screens can be a force for good for children. After all, isn't greater literacy, be it via screens or paper pages, something to be encouraged? Some teachers argue that phones can enhance schoolwork while others insist banning them is draconian, impractical and futile. Should we take phones away from kids for their own good, or should the very idea be dismissed as screen-shaming? SPEAKERS Elliot Bewick producer, TRIGGERnometry Josephine Hussey school teacher, AoI Education Forum Molly Kingsley co-founder, UsForThem; co-author, The Children's Inquiry Joe Nutt international educational consultant; author, The Point of Poetry, An Introduction to Shakespeare's Late Plays and A Guidebook to Paradise Lost Professor Sir Simon Wessely interim dean, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neurosciences; regius professor of psychiatry, King's College London CHAIR Gareth Sturdy physics adviser, Up Learn; education and science writer

Listener discretion is advised.Examining the Conspiracy Theories Around the Manchester Arena BombingThe 2017 Manchester Arena bombing was a tragic event that left 22 people dead and hundreds more injured. However, in the years since, a number of conspiracy theories have emerged claiming the attack was a hoax. One of the main proponents of this theory is Richard D. Hall, who has produced a book and documentary called "The Night of the Bang" alleging the victims were crisis actors.In this 8-part podcast series, we aim to meticulously examine the claims made by Hall and others, assess the evidence, and uncover the truth behind this divisive event. As content creators, we recognize the responsibility we have to approach these sensitive discussions with great care.The first half of the series will present Hall's arguments and the conspiracy theory in detail. We will then spend the second half deconstructing these claims and determining where the truth lies. This balanced approach is crucial, as conspiracy theories around tragic events can have devastating consequences.We've already seen how these false narratives can fracture communities and lead to the harassment of victims and their families. The recent legal action taken by Manchester Arena survivors Martin and Eve Hibbert against Hall is a landmark case, the first of its kind in the UK against a "disaster troll.”The Hibberts are seeking an injunction to prevent Hall from making similar allegations in the future, as well as damages. Their lawyer has described Hall's actions as "appalling" and hopes this case will set a precedent to better protect survivors of tragedies from such harassment.This issue also highlights the challenges lawmakers and social media platforms face in addressing the spread of disinformation and abuse online. While new legislation like the UK's Online Safety Bill aims to improve user protections, there are still debates over how far such laws can and should go.Ultimately, the Manchester Arena bombing conspiracy theories demonstrate the very real harm that can result when facts are obscured and victims are re-traumatized. As we delve into this complex topic, our goal is to provide a thoughtful, nuanced examination - one that honours the memory of those lost and supports the recovery of the survivors.By rigorously analysing the evidence and ethical implications, we hope to cut through the noise and misinformation, offering listeners a clearer understanding of this tragic event and the importance of responsible journalism in the face of conspiracy theories.Listen to episodes weekly: https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.com/all-episodes/deep-dives/season-2/manchester-arena-bombing-on-trialFind us on your preferred podcast platform: https://pod.link/1629532988 Listen to all 8 parts of the series now: https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy You have questions?

The UK's Online Safety Bill has been in the pipeline for a number of years now, and is currently being considered by the House of Lords. The proposed bill has caused a lot of controversy due to its broad ambitions and a perceived threat to people's privacy. But it's been welcomed in some quarters, and in particular by children's charities like the NSPCC, who say that it's needed to tackle grooming and child sexual abuse online. Indeed, the NSPCC says such measures are long overdue and that over 3,500 online sex crimes are likely happening each month that the bill is delayed. How does online grooming happen, and who are the typical targets ? Does this only happen online? How can you identify a child victim ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

In this episode, UCL's Professor Jessica Ringrose shares her research on unsolicited sexual images on Snapchat, a social media platform which plays a central role in the lives of many teens. We discuss how this work uncovered high rates of non-consensual image sharing and led to the establishment of cyber flashing as a new criminal offence in the UK's 2023 Online Safety Bill. We also explore how collaborating with young people, crime scientists, sex education charities, and policy makers, and the use of participatory arts-based methods, were key to uncovering children's experiences of social media and achieving more equity and social justice in their lives. Jessica Ringrose is Professor of the Sociology of Gender and Education at UCL's Institute of Education. She is a co-director of the UCL Centre for Sociology of Education and Equity and runs the Feminist Educational Engagement Lab with her doctoral students. She also co-runs the ‘Post-digital Intimacies' research network, which looks at experiences in social media.

Iain Davis discusses the Chinese social credit system and how in fact it is global and already operating in the West under a different guise. The key to the system is Digital Identity that links to biometric data (e.g. facial recognition, iris scan, DNA) which will be used to access or deny access to a variety of public and private services. The Chinese government has given a name to this system which is social credit. The intention behind it is population control and social engineering using reward and punishment. By and large the Chinese look favorably upon this system. We have the same thing in the West, except that we don't call it "social credit system". This tyranny is being patchworked together in the West via separate legislation (e.g. Online Safety Bill) that once in place will function exactly as the system in China. Western governments and their apparatchiks attempting to blame China are diverting attention and blame away from the tyranny they are building at home. The Western elite are fully onboard with the multipolar order.

Our headline story for this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast is the U.K.'s sweeping new Online Safety Act, which regulates social media in a host of ways. Mark MacCarthy spells some of them out, but the big surprise is encryption. U.S. encrypted messaging companies used up all the oxygen in the room hyperventilating about the risk that end-to-end encryption would be regulated. Journalists paid little attention in the past year or two to all the other regulatory provisions. And even then, they got it wrong, gleefully claiming that the U.K. backed down and took the authority to regulate encrypted apps out of the bill. Mark and I explain just how wrong they are. It was the messaging companies who blinked and are now pretending they won.  In cybersecurity news, David Kris and I have kind words for the Department of Homeland Security's report on how to coordinate cyber incident reporting. Unfortunately, there is a vast gulf between writing a report on coordinating incident reporting and actually coordinating incident reporting. David also offers a generous view of the conservative catfight between former Congressman Bob Goodlatte on one side and Michael Ellis and me on the other. The latest installment in that conflict is here. If you need to catch up on the raft of antitrust litigation launched by the Biden administration, Gus Hurwitz has you covered. First, he explains what's at stake in the Justice Department's case against Google – and why we don't know more about it. Then he previews the imminent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) case against Amazon. Followed by his criticism of Lina Khan's decision to name three Amazon execs as targets in the FTC's other big Amazon case – over Prime membership. Amazon is clearly Lina Khan's White Whale, but that doesn't mean that everyone who works there is sushi. Mark picks up the competition law theme, explaining the U.K. competition watchdog's principles for AI regulation. Along the way, he shows that whether AI is regulated by one entity or several could have a profound impact on what kind of regulation AI gets. I update listeners on the litigation over the Biden administration's pressure on social media companies to ban misinformation and use it to plug the latest Cybertoonz commentary on the case. I also note the Commerce Department claim that its controls on chip technology have not failed, arguing that there's no evidence that China can make advanced chips “at scale.”  But the Commerce Department would say that, wouldn't they? Finally, for This Week in Anticlimactic Privacy News, I note that the U.K. has decided, following the EU ruling, that U.S. law is “adequate” for transatlantic data transfers.

The UK’s “Online Safety Bill” is on Parliament’s agenda as members return next week. Supporters promise it would make Britain the safest place in the world to be online, protecting especially kids from harmful content. But while acknowledging its intent, U.S. tech executives say it deals a major blow to privacy. Meredith Whittaker, president of the nonprofit encrypted messaging app Signal, is an outspoken critic. She’s concerned by a clause that lets British regulators mandate that citizens install surveillance software.
