Australia’s privacy regulator is launching 2026 with its first compliance sweep. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) will review selected businesses’ privacy policies to ensure they meet the existing statutory requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). Whats Happening? Starting in the first week of January, the OAIC will scrutinise the privacy policies of approximately 60 entities across six sectors that commonly collect personal information in person. These include: Rental and property – collecting personal details during property inspections. Chemists and pharmacists – gathering identity information for medication or paperless receipts. Licensed venues – requiring ID for entry. Car rental companies – collecting identity and other personal details for rental agreements. Car dealerships – obtaining personal information for test drives. Pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers – collecting identity documents for transactions. The focus on in-person data collection reflects concerns about power and information gaps. People often feel pressured to share personal details without fully understanding how their data will be used, shared, or stored. Why Does It Matter? Entities with non-compliant privacy policies could face serious consequences, including compliance and infringement notices and penalties of up to $66,000 per infringement. This is separate from higher civil penalties

Not scary in terms of worrying about her safety — scary in terms of embarrassment. Statman, a brand manager who lives in Phoenix, has scoped out exes or potential partners on the platform more than once without switching to private browsing mode, forgetting they'd be notified. A couple of guys have called her out on it, which she's been able to spin as due diligence in modern-day dating. A tougher one to explain away: when her mom took a look at a potential suitor's profile a couple of years ago. "Sometimes, I overshare with my mom," Statman, 25, says. When the guy brought it up, she claimed she'd been browsing on her mom's phone for whatever reason. That was, of course, a lie. "It was totally just my mom looking and stalking," she says. Snooping on an ex or love interest on social media is a tale as old as time — or, rather, as old as Facebook. Plenty

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) A report shows that the new year is creating a significant paradox in India's job market. A LinkedIn report reveals the strange fact that while a major portion of Indian professionals wish to change jobs this year, most are not prepared for it. This report clarifies that recruitment processes led by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and rapidly changing skill requirements have increased uncertainty among job seekers. Indians Unwilling to Change Jobs A study report by LinkedIn states that 84 percent of Indian professionals feel mentally unprepared to find a new job. The main reasons for this are the increasing encroachment of AI, the changing skill requirements for today's jobs, and the growing competition in the market. Statistics show that the number of job applicants in India has more than doubled since the beginning of 2022. This has not only increased competition but also affected the confidence of candidates. Meanwhile, companies are also facing challenges. About 74 percent of Indian recruiters say that finding qualified talent has become more difficult in the past year. India's Changing Job Market The report clarifies that AI is no longer just a technical term but has become the foundation of career development and

Legal pecking order A set of chambers has sparked debate on LinkedIn after appearing to suggest that barristers sit higher than solicitors in the legal food chain. In a screenshot (embedded below), purportedly taken from the unnamed set’s website and later shared on LinkedIn, the chambers poses the rather evocative question: “Is a barrister higher up than a solicitor?” Helpfully — or provocatively, depending on your allegiances — the chambers then answers its own question. Look away now, solicitors. It asserts that barristers are “generally considered more senior” within the UK legal system. To its credit, the chambers does row back slightly, clarifying that the relationship is “not strictly hierarchical”. Instead, it draws the distinction that barristers focus on advocacy in the “higher courts”, while solicitors handle the “day-to-day” legal work. Solicitor Heledd Wyn, who shared the post, threw the question open to the profession, inviting fellow lawyers, whatever their branch, level or seniority, to have their say. She also offered a pointed aside. “f you recognise the content and it’s your chambers — maybe have a think about the wording and those who generally instruct you? 🙋‍♀️” Law firm marketing guru Simon Marshall weighed in below the line, arguing

Getty Images/CNET No matter where you hang out online, social media is riddled with scammers looking for targets to swindle or con you out of your cash.  But on LinkedIn, it can be especially tricky to weed out wrongdoers because they can be disguised as career opportunities.  I've had more than a few fake job recruiters contact me -- some through LinkedIn, and some, I suspect, by finding me on LinkedIn and then reaching out to me over email. These days, scammers are using AI to write convincing and highly detailed business propositions. Sometimes, they're very persuasive. But you can keep yourself safer if you look for the red flags. My encounter with scammers on LinkedIn  I recently had a "job recruiter" contact me, asking if I'd be interested in working on an aerospace writing project. That was a little suspicious as I have no experience writing about aerospace. Secondly, the job recruiter had three followers. Surely a recruiter, even if it was her first day on the job, would have a little more of a presence on LinkedIn. But if you don't know what to look for, you might get fooled.   My next experience was when a "book

LinkedIn report: Most Indian professionals plan to switch jobs in 2026, but feel unprepared due to AI, competition, and skills gaps. New Delhi, Jan 8 (PTI) A significant percentage of Indian professionals are looking for a new role in 2026, but many feel lost in an AI-driven hiring process amid rising competition, uncertainty about role fit and skills gaps, according to a LinkedIn report. As per the new research from LinkedIn, 84 per cent of professionals feel unprepared to find a new job, amid the rise of AI in the hiring process, rapidly shifting skill requirements for today's jobs, and an increasingly competitive, but selective, job market. According to LinkedIn data, applicants per open role in India have more than doubled since early 2022, intensifying competition and leaving many feeling unprepared. Moreover, nearly 74 per cent of Indian recruiters said it has become harder over the last year to find qualified talent. "AI is now a foundational part of how careers are built and how talent is evaluated across India's job market. What professionals need most is a clear understanding of how their skills translate into opportunity and how hiring decisions are actually made. "When used with purpose, AI tools
