About

"Why would anyone be watching me? I'm nobody." If this is your contribution to conversations about mass surveillance, tech journalist Marta Peirano would like a word with you. Wielding cautionary tales about contemporary data collection that make the Stasi seem quaint, Peirano explains how the data that our phones and algorithms automatically collect about us is ripe for misuse and exploitation by the next authoritarian regime. (In Spanish with English subtitles)
