Welcome back after nearly one year to a new episode of the Data Without Borders podcast!

We have new regulars on the call: Eve Maler and Elias Bizannes will join myself (Christian Scholz), Trent Adams and Steve Greenberg.

Welcome back in 2009!

In the first episode for 2009 we talk about privacy because Christian was attending the 25th Chaos Communications Congress and the overall topic there was privacy. Looking at social networks today we see that not really much privacy is available and we discuss if that can be changed or not.

So listen in to Christian Scholz, Trent Adams, Steve Greenberg and special guest from Australia, Elias Bizannes talking about this important topic.
