Spying air-fryers and the fight for product security
In this fireside chat, Fran, a Principal Policy Advisor with a background in cybersecurity, and Andy Laughlin, an investigative journalist, will explore the intersection of tech scrutiny and policy advocacy in consumer technology. Andy will share insights from years of investigative work uncovering how smart home devices and apps collect excessive and often unclear data, such as in the viral “Why is my air-fryer spying on me?” exposé. Fran will discuss how these revelations shape the policy landscape, from influencing regulators like the ICO to setting future priorities for product security. Together, they will offer a lively and thought-provoking look at how journalism and policy can work hand in hand to protect consumers in an increasingly connected world.
