Show Notes
Do we accept the creepy side of tech in order to enjoy its benefits? Bill Ottman is a technologist best known for founding the decentralized social network Minds, but you may have seen him on Joe Rogan Experience, NPR, or the NYTimes. In this episode, we discuss the privacy paradox of public outrage at government surveillance living alongside public over disclosure on social media. You’ll also hear his take on TikTok, baby monitors & his response to “I have nothing to hide.” You’ll also hear easy swaps you can make to increase your digital privacy without spiraling into techno paranoia.
