What If Your Phone Was Spying On You? (It Is) ft. Shoshana Wodinsky

We're joined by Gizmodo's Shoshana Wodinsky to talk about how tech companies are using the impending repeal of Roe v Wade as an opportunity to expand their surveillance apparatus and abilities, and how basically every smart phone is going to be used as a hyper-personalised surveillance device that will employ the combination of ad-tech, tracking and state surveillance to build a system that constantly monitors you, tries to sell stuff to you and, also, arrest you. Shoshana tells us some ways to work around this that are essential to do any form of activism. Also, we check in on Jordan Peterson, who has seemingly pissed off some of his fanbase who are dating women who aren't instagram models.

The hosts casually referring to Roe v Wade as being 'passed' and 'repealed' is really an unintentionally revealing thing lol, even if it has nothing to do with posting mainstream american politics likes to pretend the Supreme Court isn't a lawmaking body but it absolutely is!!!

"The reason that people post is that somewhere in their head they have this idea that in maybe a thousand years' time, when there's an archaeologist picking their way through the burnt-out landscape, that they will somehow come across your posts, like graffiti on the walls of Pompeii." I mean you can always use something like Semiphemeral: https://semiphemeral.com/ (I use Semiphemeral for the rare occasions I choose to reply to embedded tweets, and on Twitter I follow zero people, have zero followers, and also regularly remove anyone who makes the mistake of following me.)
