Rude The Podcast

In this episode, we talk to Brenda McPhail, the Director of Privacy, Technology & Surveillance Project at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Franz Voltaire, an award-winning Haitian human rights activist & academic, and the founder of the Human Rights Film Festival in Montréal. Privacy, as we've come to learn, is not about keeping secrets: it's about social and political control. We want to know what 'tech for the people' looks like, and how we can stay connected without the eavesdropping, snitching, and behavioural mapping of our lives. In this digital reboot of social justice, we ask our listeners to think-twice about the systemic consequences of unethical software. Join RUDE as we navigate along the many twists & turns of the new tech frontier.
