1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to buy a pair of shoes

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: online recently? Maybe a T shirt? Maybe try and book

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: a haircut online. You'd have been asked a billion and

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: one questions, what time, what day do you want your haircut?

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: That stuff's fine. Then they want your name, your address,

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: your birth date, your postal address, How did you hear

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: about us? What shampoo do you use? I didn't ask

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: for all of that. At this point, I'd rather pull

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: my hair out in clumps than actually go through all

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: of these stupid, irrelevant questions and actually get my haircut

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: with you. I've been trying to get paid from newstalk

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: Z'DB this week. I probably shouldn't talk about this, but

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: I've been trying to get paid. You see, because it's

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: important to get paid. You need to pay for things

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: like haircuts. And I realized this is very dangerous ground

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: to be treading on. I've only been here a week

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: and the people here are wonderful, great, excellent people. I

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: want to make that point, but some of the processes,

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, just absurd. You'd think they just want

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: my bank account, my ID number, whatever, pay me. No,

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: every personal detail under the sun, they want it. You name, it.

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: They want it, my sex, probably who I'm having sex with,

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: my home address, my ethnicity. This is the one that

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand. This sent me into a tailspin. Why

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: do you need the color of my skin to pay me?

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: And this is not just my employer's situation, by the way,

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: this is a third party who runs this, so that

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: there must be plenty of people and companies out there

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: that are doing this. It's not a legal requirement. And

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: the stupid drop down box wasn't working for me, so

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't even able to pick my ethnicity. I tried

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: to pick European and it would have let me. I

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: tried all of them. I tried to say it was

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Chinese or Tino, even Indian, and I'm like, are you

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: going to pay me in rupees? What is the significance

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: of my ethnicity to whether I'm getting paid or not? Anyway,

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: I calmed myself down and sorted that issue out. But

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: the reason I ask is and the reason I'm talking

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: about this is because a lot of the information that

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: we give these companies goes into some big database at

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: the back end of their computer system, and oftentimes these

42
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: computer systems get hacked. Thousands of companies have thousands of

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: bits of data about us, and they not only sell

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: it between one another, but as I said, can often

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: get hacked. So I've come up with an idea, a

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: bill I'm hoping to get through Parliament. It's called the

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Excessive Digital Information Collection Protection Bill. And for every question

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: they ask us, we get five bucks. And I want

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: to be able to reject all cookies. You know that

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: function they have over in Europe that we don't have here.

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I want to be able to have that function here too.

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: And I want the ability to sue if my data

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: is stolen. And I'm talking billions of dollars. Just go away,

54
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Just stop asking all these questions. It's incessant, it's unnecessary,

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: and it puts all of us more at risk when

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: it comes to scammers. It's twenty nine minutes after five.

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: This is News Talk said BE News is next, and

58
