Fifty-seven percent of New Zealanders say they are worried about invasion of privacy through new technology. In the US – probably for good reason - the figure is 70% and in Australia, 64%.
Privacy advocates would say that this figure is too low – everyone with an email account and a credit card should be worried. But assistant privacy commissioner Katrine Evans says it’s not the technology we should be concerned about.
“Technology itself is neutral,” she says, “It’s what we do with it.”
