John Key stories - Page 5

John Key, a prolific writer with a keen eye on New Zealand's political and tech landscapes, delves deep into the nation's pressing issues through his insightful columns. From the contentious arena of surveillance and privacy, notably spotlighting the global spying saga involving figures like Edward Snowden and Kim Dotcom, to the evolution of the country's cyber security framework, Key navigates the complex interplay between politics and technology with an adept understanding.

His interests don't stop at New Zealand's borders; Key also explores the impact of international relations on local digital and infrastructure developments, such as rural broadband advancements and dealings with tech giants like Huawei. Through his engaging commentary on government decisions, surveillance legislation, and digital economy debates, Key unravels the intricacies of how technology shapes and is shaped by policy decisions, drawing attention to the broader implications for privacy, security, and democracy in New Zealand.
