288 – ⚖️ Digital Ethics, Rights & Responsibilities with Ali Rizvi

What this episode covers

In this episode, we talk with Ali Rizvi, Vice President of Product Management at Star2Star, a Sangoma company. We discuss digital ethics, rights & responsibilities of technology companies such as Facebook. There are many aspects to how these entities influence our political climate and unnaturally distort social behavior. Some of the social media algorithms are presented to make our lives better, but do they? Are these types of technologies a fundamental threat to the whole of humanity, or just misunderstood? ✨ Episode Sponsor * Auth0: https://auth0.com* Auth0 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/auth0* Auth0 on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/auth0* Auth0 Avocado Labs online meetup events: https://avocadolabs.dev/ 🔗 Episode Links * Ali Rizvi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zalirizvi/* Ali Rizvi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/aliknowsproduct* Guest co-host Nick Sollecito: https://twitter.com/oticellos* ‘The Buck Stops With Mark’: Facebook Whistleblower Says Zuckerberg Responsible for System Harming Kids: https://gizmodo.com/the-buck-stops-with-mark-facebook-whistleblower-says-z-1847797678* Hooked: https://www.nirandfar.com/hooked/* Hosts: Frederick Weiss: https://twitter.com/FrederickWeiss 📜 Transcript [00:00:00] Frederick Weiss: Welcome to the Thunder Nerds.
