PrivateID: A Podcast from Borja Moya: Recent Episodes
Borja Moya
PrivateID comes from what I believe is going to be one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century: privacy. It's become a necessity and we have to start facing the challenges we've got ahead of us. PrivateID's a podcast about the conversations we need to bring to the table and about how to solve the problems that are coming. About taking the first step and changing things for the better. The threat is real, but we can change things for the better. It's up to us.
A lot of people are warning us of the dangers democracies around the world face. But very few people talk in depth of the origin of these threats. Today we’re seeing a global race to rule artificial intelligence. And the tricky thing about this race is that, every country is on it, whether they want […]
Today politics is about the struggle of controlling the flows of data, and that might give birth to modern dictatorships.
Today advertisers can do a lots of things. But tomorrow when there’s a mass adoption of devices that can capture biometric data, advertisers’ creepiness will get to a whole new level.
Manipulating the masses is easier than ever, and social media platforms are doing nothing about it. We need regulations.
Are we in control of our own thoughts? Here’s a couple of chapters from my book Defeating Mr. Mole. (You can download the whole book for free at borjas.blog/mr)
Depression, lack of identity and some other psychological challenges will hit people who lose their jobs.
What would happen if we continue with our current privacy standards and our thoughts are out there in the open?
On the dangers of outsourcing your reality and identity to Facebook or any other social media platform.
We’re about to discover the most extreme inequality we’ve ever imagined, all thanks to a root cause: lack of privacy and ownerless data, which are leading us to three fundamental problems: the disease, the immediate consequence and the existential crisis.
When they ask us to share our data, some say that it’s anonymous, but that’s technically impossible. We can discuss whether that’s true or not, but the point is that we only know about the upside. But we’ve got no idea of the long tail of dangers sharing your “anonymous data” implies.
Privacy inequality is the difference among individuals in society where privacy is the source of economic, opportunity and democratic inequalities, but unlike any other inequality, this one goes to the extremes. We haven’t seen this in its pure form, but it’s going to hit us hard. And no one is talking about it. No one.
How can we get people to care about their data? There’s a chasm we need to cross, and the only way to get people on board is to give them products that work, but not in the way you think.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, gave a keynote speech in the European parliament “defending” privacy. It was a great presentation, but it was just words. Their actions prove something different. They’re taking over the healthcare industry and securing their position in the biodata war.
The privacy problem is a tough one, but not in the way we think. It turns out we’re focusing on the wrong solutions. Awareness is the key.
