The Pursuit Of Privacy: Why Gen Z Wants To Be Anonymous Online

Episode • Jul 12, 2022 • 1h 12m

This episode is brought to you by Girl, the new fragrance by Rochas for a generation that nurtures and prioritises their wellbeing. Girl contains 90% natural-origin ingredients, and an eco-designed bottle made from 40% recycled glass. Shop Rochas Girl at David Jones or The Iconic.

In this week's episode, we look at why Gen Z is starting to seek more privacy and anonymity online. We explore the concept of the personal brand from a Gen Z lens, the new dangers youth face online, and several factors that have contributed to this generation choosing to be more private than their Millennial counterparts. We also look at some Gen Z creators who have recently taken a step back from social media (like Emma Chamberlain), and consider both the benefits and the risks of internet users becoming increasingly anonymous.
