This documentary from Jeff Orlowski explores how addiction and privacy breaches are features, not bugs, of social media platforms.  It calls for an overhaul of big tech business models and ending online corporate surveillance. 2020 has underscored just how much we rely on technology to connect, learn, organise, and live our lives. But the business model of big tech poses an unprecedented threat to our human rights - harvesting and monetising the data of a third of the world’s population and trapping us in a system where we are forced to either submit to pervasive tracking or forego this critical lifeline.I’ve asked a few members from Team Brandlective to join this conversation.IMPORTANT REFERENCES & CORRECTIONS:BREXIT: We discussed the movie Brexit featuring Benedict Cumberbatch on this episode which is feature-length documentary film to inspire as many people as possible to vote to LEAVE the EU in the June 23rd referendum.Watch the Trailer FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY: Kyrie Irving is mentioned in this podcast episode and we incorrectly reference the NFL rather than the NBA (sorry Kyrie).  He does in fact play, American Basketball (not Football).AMERICAN NEWS NETWORKS: Who controls the media in the United States?In the podcast, we reference only 2 people owning the media networks.  After a fact check we can confirm it is actually six conglomerates control most of the broadcast media in the United States: CBS Corporation, Comcast, Time Warner, 21st Century Fox (formerly News Corporation), Viacom, and The Walt Disney Company.Got a question?  Get in touch.Connect with Stacey Kehoe:Review on iTunesConnect with Stacey Kehoe on LinkedInVisit the Get Online Book WebsitePurchase the Get Online Book on AmazonTake the Digital Marketing TestCould your digital marketing perform better?
