Author, digital rights campaigner and lawyer, Lizzie O'Shea, joins Peter, Margo and Tim to talk about ways in which we understand privacy in this time of #coronavirus. LIzzie's book, Future Histories, is a must read on the topic of technological development and how corporations and governments use it to create social profiles of we the people. The question then becomes, how do we, as citizens, interact with and maintain our control over these profiles? How do we receive the benefits of technological connection and interaction without giving up our privacy and turning ourselves into mere consumers, subject to online Pavlovian manipulation, where our lives are turned into sites of data mining and exploitation? A deep and engaging dive into all this with one of the world's leading experts.
