Lucky to talk to Ania Piotrowska from Nym as part of my #WeDontSteam #Podcast
Nym promises to be the 'better than #Tor' anonymous network - a bold claim but one she says they don't make lightly.

Ep 8 of #WeDontStream #podcast I talk to
Safa Ghnaim
from @info_activism
about the #Data Detox toolkit which has clear suggestions and concrete steps to help people harness all aspects of their online lives. https://jamesmullarkey.com/2021/01/its-time-to-detox-your-digital-life-with-safa-ghnaim/ #SurveillanceCapitalism #Privacy #DataSecurity
While organisations like Panoptykon Foundation exist there is hope of pushing back the likes of Google and Facebook from their relentless attacks on democracies and our communities.
They have an English website worth checking out
https://en.panoptykon.org/
Panoptykon Foundation was founded by a group of lawyers in Poland to protect fundamental rights and freedoms in the context of fast-changing technologies and growing surveillance.
Although these issues might seems quite EU focused we've already seen other parts of the world adopting aspects of GDPR locally so I think much of what is discussed is relevant to people living outside the EU. Major EU legislation could cause serious damage to #AdTech firms pushing #SurveillanceCapitalism if done right
PS - I live in the UK now outside the EU :(
New #Podcast episode: Karolina Iwańska is a lawyer at Panoptykon Foundation and has been leading their investigation into the online advertising industry’s practices related to #data protection and #privacy.
