About this episode

The episode discusses the differing attitudes towards phone snooping between Gen Z and older generations in Australia.

A recent survey reveals that one in 10 Gen Z Australians believe checking a partner's phone is acceptable, with women 50 per cent more likely to engage in this behaviour than men. Older generations view phone snooping as a serious breach of trust and privacy, while younger Australians who grew up with digital technology have a fundamentally different relationship with device access. The generational divide highlights changing attitudes towards privacy and trust in modern relationships. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
