Big Brother vs Big Other
The 20th century birthed ‘Big Brother’ - an omnipresent surveillance state - but the 21st century's digital surveillance capacities have created a ‘Big Other’ - online corporations watching us more closely than any state apparatus ever has - the difference is, we’ve put Big Other in our own pockets and homes.
Emily Hart is joined by Luis Fernando García, Executive Director and co-founder of Mexican digital rights organisation R3D, and Tomaso Falchetta, who leads Privacy International's global policy engagement.
They'll be digging into issues of online privacy and surveillance - how much do we even know about the data being collected on us? Why does it matter to our human rights and democracies? What can we do?
