1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: ID is giving your data to Facebook. Taxpayers data to Facebook.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: That was the headline yesterday. We give them our data

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: in trust and confidence. Well we don't. Actually we give

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: them our data because the law says we must file

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: our tax returns and tell them who we are and

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: how much we're earning, etc. But perhaps you assume that

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: the law says that they must keep it to themselves.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Not so, and I think this is a scandal. It

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: is scandalous, to be honest. When I read the headline,

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, IOD must have been hit by one

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: of those phone scams. You know, they've been cold called

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: by Nigerian prince and handed over our private data. But no,

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: The R and Z report says they give Facebook and

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: the big tech guys some of our information because it's anonymized.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: It's hashed what they're calling it hashed, so they can't

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: see who you are when they hand it over. And

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: it's only for the purposes of IOD placing ads on

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: these platforms like Facebook, etc. So don't worry about it. Sorry,

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: I am, and I reckon. Most Kiwis will hate this.

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: The reason is pretty simple. It's trust. Do you trust Facebook? No?

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Do you believe they will keep your data secure. No,

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: do you believe they won't marry up your private data

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: that our government has just handed them on a silver

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: platter with the profiles they have on you already. No,

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: No one trusts these guys. I don't want some government

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: department sending my data to some Silicon Valley server so

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: that some tech guy can better bug me with intrusive

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: ads about what undies to buy. I actually think there's

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: more to this story, and there will be, because they

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: have a life of their own. It won't just be

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: the IDA that's doing it. There'll be other government departments,

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: There'll be other private data. There'll be more of us

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: affected and luxe and should get ahead of this and

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: just say let's have some kind of little review, because

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: otherwise you're going to get these headlines ticking over and

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: over and over, and I think people will be sick

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: of it. Also, we need to have as citizens, we

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: need to have faith that when we give our data

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: to the government that it is kept secure and safe,

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: and even a perception that it's not is not good enough.
