Just how much of your life is being watched and tracked? Who has access to all this information and what are they doing with it?

Audio: Metadata Retention and Privacy
Listen to the Audio on 2ser.com
Last week the proposed data retention bill passed through the House of Representatives, and is expected to pass through the Senate soon. These laws are set to allow warrantless access to phone calls, sms, social media and internet usage, in the name of tightening our national security.
Disputes and amendments to the bill have focused on confidentiality threats for journalists and whistleblowers, but what effect will data retention have on the average person?
Our host Sam Baran spoke to Bruce Schneier, who is a fellow at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society and author of the book …

Transcript
MARK COLVIN: The ALP has agreed to support an amended version of the Government’s bill to force Internet Service Providers to keep their customers’ data for two years.
It’ll let government agencies see what we’ve all been doing on the phone or online.
Bipartisan support means the bill is likely to pass.
The bodies expected to get access range from various police and customs agencies to the Competition watchdog, the ACCC.
But there’s also a provision for the Attorney-General to let other agencies see your data at the stroke of a pen…

How much do you know about what others might know about you, from your use of technology? How do you minimise your online footprint on things you’d rather keep private?
Bruce Schneier is a US technology and security expert, whose latest book is Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World, talks to Kathryn Ryan about how much information is being gathered by governments and corporations through our use of phones and computers.

Listen to the Audio on ScienceFriday.com
The NSA, Facebook, and Google are constantly mining our personal information for surveillance and advertising purposes, among other goals. Is it possible to keep our data secure in the digital age? Bruce Schneier, a cybersecurity expert and author of Data and Goliath, says, “We need to examine our own fears and decide how much of our privacy we are really willing to sacrifice for convenience.” Read an excerpt from his book here.

Congratulations. You’re winning.
Yes, all of the usual corporate and government entities know you’re here. Google remembers everything you’ve ever searched, BuzzFeed knows how you’ve scored on all their quizzes, and your cell phone provider knows who you talk to and who you sleep with. Terms of Service agreements are an exercise in futility, encrypted email often takes more trouble than it’s worth, and yeah, sure, go ahead and give Facebook a fake name, but don’t think you’re fooling anyone. Companies are collecting your data from just about everywhere, storing it through time unknown, and using it however they want. Oh, and that’s where the FBI-and-friends find it…

Security expert Bruce Schneier returns to Science for the People to talk about the use and misuse of passwords to safeguard our most important data.
Audio: Breaking up the NSA
Almost a year and a half after the Snowden revelations, it’s business as usual for America’s giant global eavesdropping and spying organisation: the NSA, the National Security Agency.
As revelations continue to unfold, legislative attempts to rein in the NSA’s powers appear to be stalling. But, Harvard University security analyst Bruce Schneier says the situation is unacceptable.
In the future, argues Schneier, people will look back at the way we ignore privacy today and ask “how could we be that immoral?” He’s put forward his own plan for breaking -up the NSA, and in so doing, bringing its activities under greater civilian control…
