Your Smart Devices Could Rat You Out

from WORT 89.9FM Madison · host WORT 89.9FM Madison

Over 60 million households in the US use services like Amazon Echo, Google Nest, Ring, etc. Our devices routinely record our conversations and private activities. To talk about it means to let these “smart” devices into our private lives, host Ali Muldrow is joined today by legal scholar Andrew Guthrie Ferguson. His new book, Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Self-Surveillance asks the question: is digital surveillance truly protecting us or serving as a tool of authoritarianism?
