In today's episode, Matt and Andrew explore "The Ethics in Data Collection", exploring how we looked at ethics at the start of our career to current. We felt this reflection is important as the UK are discussing the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDIB), which is currently in the House of Lords.  You can find more information about the bill from the same website Andrew references in the episode: https://www.dqmgrc.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-new-dpdi-data-protection-and-digital-information-bill 

We then end discussing the Code of Ethics that started nearly a decade ago by the Digital Analytics Association (https://www.digitalanalyticsassociation.org/codeofethics) and if there should be a renewed push for Ethical data collection.  Ultimately, if ethics does not play a part in our own career, it will be mandated by the government; shouldn't we get ahead of it while we still can? 

Andrew then talks about attending a webinar that Simo Ahava presented called "10 Game Changing Uses for Chrome DevTools" where you can use Chrome Functionality without the need of extensions.  You can watch the replay here: https://measuresummit.com/training/lunch-learn-replay What are your thoughts on the new DPDIB?
