Hi Barrack<br>
<br>
A great comment has been posted on the Jadii Platform<br>
<br>
June Tessy - a day ago Do we really need another 'specialized' agency yet<br>
there are already existing units in Government and Regulators that are<br>
mandated to deal with these like the National Intelligence Service, ICTA,<br>
CA Perhaps building onto the already existing units in terms of resources<br>
and capacity may be more sustainable<br>

All<br>
<br>
In relation to this, I discovered today that a lot of the privacy issues are allegedly being violated by a certain global brand.<br>
<br>
Google, could have a record of everything you have said around it for years, and you can listen to it yourself.<br>
<br>
The company quietly records many of the conversations that people have around its products.<br>
<br>
The feature works as a way of letting people search with their voice, and storing those recordings presumably lets Google improve its language recognition tools as well as the results that it gives to people.<br>
