Srsly Risky Biz: EU lobs software liability hand grenade
Presented by

CEO and Publisher
In this podcast Tom Uren, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau talk about an EU directive that will make vendors liable for software defects. The directive sets a very high bar but is also limited in scope. It only applies to individuals and doesn’t cover professional use so it is a very practical way to start changing expectations about liability.
They also talk about Session Messenger app which has decamped from Australia and set up a foundation in Switzerland. The encrypted and metadata-resistant app is catnip for criminals, so we expect that it is on a collision course with state power.
