News, Fake News, and Deep Fakes. How Do We Know What’s True?, Part 8: The End of Privacy: How Intimacy Became Data and How to Stop It

Episode Topic: The End of Privacy: How Intimacy Became Data and How to Stop It

From time immemorial, privacy has been an important, necessary condition for human development. The ability to experiment with who we are, explore our innermost thoughts and desires, and to set boundaries around relationships allows us to develop as full persons engaging in and with greater society. Unfortunately, technological change and lack of legal protections has led privacy to come under assault, with our most intimate information subject to data collection, harvesting, and selling to third parties, as well as surveillance by private actors out to extort.
