@GandhiWalkLENZ @michalsons You could report SABC to the Regulator -s74 - but as @drluyt says, a lot depends on how Regulator enforces #POPI

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@GandhiWalkLENZ @michalsons Can anyone help where the SABC is concerned? I'm not sure #POPI will make any difference...

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@GandhiWalkLENZ @michalsons #POPI has strict rules about data breaches in s22. Your tax consultant must tell you and the Regulator

@GandhiWalkLENZ @michalsons Who'd want to be a witness? Hope Interpol SA's laptops are encrypted: http://t.co/EBhZKnP0mB #POPI

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@GandhiWalkLENZ @michalsons @lead_sa @ChangeAgentSA Yes #POPI applies to NGOs - SA unusual in treating some corporate info as personal info

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@SimplySecure_SA @michalsons Informed consent is the holy grail but not always essential. Marketers must also see #POPI as an opportunity.

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@johngiles @SimplySecure_SA @michalsons #POPI has serious criminal offences and penalties for abuse of account numbers

@SimplySecure_SA @johngiles @michalsons Who would bank with Barclays UK now offered the choice? http://t.co/TDJHXECaze #POPI

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@SimplySecure_SA @michalsons #POPI Probably some SMBs will take this approach. But potential harm is greater. Stakes are higher.

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@SimplySecure_SA @michalsons the Information Regulator's role is to help find the balance between freedom of info v privacy #POPI and #PAIA

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@SimplySecure_SA @michalsons #POPI and #PAIA are both sides of the same coin, so opposing rights need to be weighed up in case of conflict

[Andrew Weeks @androidweeks]

@SimplySecure_SA @michalsons Yes, it will be possible, but 'safe harbour' type considerations likely to apply http://t.co/Dvm7elLWa3 #POPI
