Description
In this episode, we navigate the complex landscape of digital literacy and the systematic surveillance of people of color. We unravel the layers of bias ingrained in our technological systems. Focusing on the #NoTechForICE campaign as a poignant example, we engage with a panel of experts who bring their insights into the realms of data, technology, privacy, surveillance, and race.
Our mission is to shed light on the pervasive issues surrounding technology and surveillance, fostering a nuanced conversation that aims to inspire change. Join us as we explore the roots of surveillance capitalism and work towards a future where technology serves justice and equality for all.
