Popaganda Episode: The Future of Privacy

Who defines what “privacy” means these days? Big companies, mostly.

This show explores how companies like Facebook and Google have shifted our expectations of privacy—and made us think less about government surveillance. 

First, we discuss a talk by Julia Angwin in which she asks, “Is privacy becoming a luxury good?”  and follow up by talking with Malkia Cyril of the Center for Media Justice about how privacy is a civil right. Then, Professor Amy Adele Hasinoff pushes us to explore the issues of crime, privacy, and consent in a conversation about sexting.
