Episode Description
Another one of Liz’s favourite type of show: we stick to one issue. But really it’s a couple of issues, because it’s about how targeted marketing works, but it’s also about the role of data collection. If you think that keeps on coming up you’d be right, because it’s really big!
Listen in to hear the hosts discuss a piece of Belgian research about media literacy - can it help to protect young people from the power of targeted marketing? - and then Liz interviews Alice Dawkins, whose organisation has been having a long, hard look at the behaviour of tech companies and the policy environment surrounding these practices.
