Feels Like Somebody’s Watching Me: Surveillance Capitalism

In today’s world, we are always giving up our privacy for the promises of safety, connection, and convenience. But is the tradeoff worth it? In this episode, we explore how surveillance companies like Flock are actually making our neighborhoods more unsafe, why you just can’t seem to stop swiping (and paying for it!), and why nothing may have an actual price anymore. Stay for a revamped game at the end. We’re calling it “Going/Not Going” where we tell you what trend, person, or other aspect of culture is or isn’t getting us out to the party. • The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff • GM, Ford CEOs Pressure Trump on Right to Repair Laws • Tennessee Grandmother Jailed After AI Error • Iyanla Reacts to Domestic Violence Rise in 2020 • Surveillance Pricing • FlockHopper Join our Patreon for bonus content (starting at $5 a month) — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.
