We spoke to Inside.story as part of the article "On the internet no one knows you're a dog"
Is there a way to protect ourselves on the internet without compromising our privacy?
Members of HomoDigitalis spoke to inside story. and journalist Rafaella Maneli about an issue that concerns us every day.
-Kostas Kakavoulis “The internet started out as completely free, but that era has now passed. Today we do in it what we do in analogue life. In fact on the internet we are more exposed than in the real world. Therefore, human activity in it cannot remain unregulated.”
-Alexandra Giannopoulou: “Since Snowden’s time we still know that the relationship between security and privacy is not orthogonal. Similarly, neither is the relationship between child protection and privacy.”
-Giannis Krontiris: “SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity) technology can provide the appropriate framework for the identification and verification of digital identities, focusing on the user, who becomes the sovereign of his or her data.”
