Summary

You've probably heard the warnings about digital privacy: read the terms of service, think before you share, be careful what you click. But AI ethicist Jen Golbeck says the problem runs a lot deeper than that. In this eye-opening talk, she reveals how corporations and governments built a system of "data colonialism" that tracks your movements, searches and habits — for profit and control. Learn how you can fight back against the surveillance state, starting with the devices in your own home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
