  Can the Planet Handle Our Data?

  Sep 2, 202625 minS6

  “Our digital life feels invisible: putting data in the cloud, but it goes into a server, and every transaction has a certain CO₂ footprint. Our industry has to build more responsible infrastructure because we are hitting the limits of our Planet.” Our digital lives feel effortless, but are we aware of the infrastructure and impact behind them? From streaming and cloud storage to AI tools and automated backups, global data demand is accelerating at an extraordinary pace. But what does this rapid growth mean for the environment? In this episode of Yours Lawfully , we explore the physical reality behind “the cloud”: large-scale data centres and their growing energy footprint. Joined by Laurens van Reijen, Founder and CEO of LCL Data Centers, we unpack the pressures on energy, water, and land, the innovations aimed at improving efficiency, and examine whether our digital habits need to evolve. Can technological progress and environmental responsibility truly align or are we heading toward a breaking point? Tune in for an insightful conversation about infrastructure, accountability, and the unseen cost of staying connected.

  The digital battlefield: How tech shapes modern war.

  Aug 5, 202641 min

  “Not every attack is visible and not every war is declared.” In recent decades, conflict has moved beyond physical borders into the digital realm. Cyber operations now have the power to disrupt critical infrastructure, manipulate information, and cause real-world harm without a single shot being fired. In this episode of Yours Lawfully, we are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Hofberger-Pippan, who brings expert insight into how international law is adapting to this evolving landscape. From the “scale and effects” test in cyber warfare to the legal challenges of attribution, we unpack how states respond to threats that are often invisible and difficult to trace. We also explore the rise of information warfare, where disinformation and digital influence campaigns blur the line between peace and conflict. As the battlefield becomes increasingly intangible, the question remains: can law keep pace with a war that is fought in code rather than combat?

  National ID or National Surveillance

  May 6, 202638 minS6

  "Critics argue that the UK is ‘sleepwalking into a surveillance society’ where more information is collected than what the British society would normally feel comfortable with" In a world where we already carry our bank cards and travel tickets on our phones, carrying a national digital ID is touted as being the ‘boarding pass to getting on in life’. This is the promise of a national digital ID: a tool stored on your smartphone, allowing you to prove your identity instantly. The UK government has set out its idea for how this could work. It wouldn’t be compulsory, but the goal is to make everyday processes smoother, cutting down on what the government sees as unnecessary paperwork and giving people a more control over their own information. In this episode of Yours Lawfully, produced by qLegal for the TMT Institute, we are joined by Bryn Robinson Morgan, who has spent more than 20 years at the forefront of digital transformation and has experience designing digital identity systems for major organisations such as Mastercard and HSBC. He also advised the UK government on digital identity and privacy. In this episode, we explore a simple but important question: what is a national ID? From its basic purpose to how it works in practice, we break down the role it plays in modern society and why governments are increasingly moving toward digital identity systems.

  10 Years of GDPR: Has privacy won?

  Apr 1, 202627 minS6

  Does data protection really protect our data, or has it just given us endless cookie banners to click through? Did you know that the data protection rules protecting your phone today actually have their roots in a 1978 French law? Long before the modern web, legislators already believed that technology should serve citizens and never violate human identity. Fast forward to today, and that spirit lives on in the General Data Protection Regulations, commonly known as the GDPR. In this episode of Yours Lawfully, produced by qLegal for the TMT Institute, we explore the realities behind GDPR, moving beyond the legal text to examine how it operates in everyday digital interactions. We are joined by Professor Ian Walden, who’s an Of Counsel at Baker McKenzie, and has been a Professor of Information and Communications Law at the Centre for Commercial Law studies for over 30 years. We look at how GDPR functions from consent and transparency to enforcement challenges and organisational compliance. We also unpack the regulation’s strengths, limitations, and evolving role in a data-driven world.
