Digital Remains: Your Rights After Death, with Dr Edina Harbinja
Let's talk about death.
Have you considered how you want your digital remains (yes, that's the correct term) to be treated after you're gone?
Photos on Facebook, TikTok videos, LinkedIn profiles, demos, self-tapes, emails sent and received; everything you have ever uploaded or shared, whether personally or professionally, will digitally outlive you.
Dr Edina Harbinja is a Reader in Media and Privacy Law at the University of Aston. She is a pioneer and expert in her field and author of the book, "Digital Death, Digital Assets and Post-mortem Privacy".
She joins us to explain more about our digital remains, what is and is not protected by existing legislation and how we might be able to better protect our digital legacies.
And you can read "Digital Remains and Post-mortem Privacy in the UK: What do users want?" co-authored by Dr Harbinja at:
