Episode 3: Track or Treat: Spooky Surveillance with Andrew Couts

Sam talks with Andrew Couts, senior editor of cybersecurity and surveillance at Wired Magazine, about what being a tech journalist in an increasingly technocratic world is like

Show notes

Host Sam Simon talks with Andrew Couts, senior editor of cybersecurity and surveillance at bastion-of-sanity tech mag Wired. While not conceived as a Halloween episode, boy is it relevant! From Andrew, we learn about the extent to which anyone with a phone and internet access is being surveilled - by actors from the social media industry to hackers to international governments. It’s pretty spooky. We also talk about what it’s like to be a tech journalist with integrity in technologically-accelerated end times. At least we still have freedom of the press!

Mike Masnick article mentioned briefly at the beginning.
