Podcasts about Digital Rights Watch

The late philosopher and scientist, Daniel Dennett talked about ‘counterfeit people' as one of the great dangers of AI – but are we now willing to court the same dangers through our adoption of multiple identities across the metaverse. Moving from the confinement of physical reality to the landscape of the metaverse, where looks, preferences, and genders are limitless, we can each acquire many digital selves. Is a ‘virtual you' a truer reflection of your deepest self – revealing desires and aspects that otherwise remain hidden? What is the human cost of leaving the physical world behind? What are the ethical implications of living without boundaries in a digital space where the borders between morality and legality, in the ‘real world', begin to dissolve?  Lizzie O'Shea sues companies and governments that do the wrong thing. She has run major cases against major technology companies on behalf of thousands of people who have been harmed by them. She is also a founder and the chair of Digital Rights Watch, which advocates for human rights in online spaces.  Patrick Stokes is associate professor of philosophy at Deakin University, and a writer, radio producer, and media commentator on philosophical matters. He is currently engaged in a three-year Australian Research Council-funded project, ‘Digital Death and Immortality.'  Emily van der Nagel is a Lecturer in Social Media at Monash University. She researches social media identities, platforms, and cultures, with a particular focus on digital intimacies. Her book, Sex and Social Media, co-authored with Katrin Tiidenberg, takes a feminist, sex-positive approach to how social media platforms shape and restrict sex. Emily is currently working on a research project about how Australians use social media to create and subscribe to content on OnlyFans. Chaired by Professor of Evolution at UNSW Sydney and a popular science author, Rob Brooks.  

Restoring Democracy in the Disinformation Age Access to reliable, accurate information is essential for democracy. From misleading health advice to conspiracy theories, unchecked disinformation risks swaying elections, jeopardising ecosystems, and even inciting violence. In fact, the World Economic Forum ranks misinformation and disinformation the number one short-term threat to humanity and progress.This week on the show, we hear from experts at the Disinformation and Democracy Forum hosted by Australian Democracy Network last month in Narrm (melbourne). It's a timely opportunity to hear from those dealing with the impacts of disinformation, about how we can address the threat while safeguarding free speech, empowering citizens, and holding big tech companies accountable for their role in shaping our democracy.Jane Gardner is the Director of Engagement at the Australian Conservation Foundation. She previously led communications and media at the Climate Council, Save the Children and at the University of Melbourne. Before this, she worked as a daily newspaper reporter.

Today though we will be playing excerpts from Saturday's Slutwalk. Slutwalk is an international movement calling for abusers to be held accountable as well as an end to slut-shaming and victim-blaming. It began in Toronto, Canada back in 2011 when a Toronto City police officer responded to campus rape at a York University by saying ‘women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized'. First up we will hear from Hoda of a naarm-based art collective Feminista Melbourne (@feminista.melbourne on instagram) which is a grassroots collective of artists and activists who found each other during the women life freedom protests late last year.

She is the creator of the world's only online memorial to women and children lost to violence and the ground-breaking Australian femicide and child death map. Her speech includes the names of the 66 women lost to violence in Australia this year. I'm putting a content warning for these next two segments as they do include mentions of violence and harassment towards women and children, including their deaths as well. Before each speech you hear music from Riff Raff Radical Marching band, you can find them on instagram as @riffraffradicalmarchingband.You can listen to all of the speeches from Saturday's Slutwalk rally at https://www.3cr.org.au/slutwalk2023.

Patrick Morrow spoke with resident Margaret Kelly and other fellow residents at the Save Barak Beacon housing estate rally last week, discussing the Port Melbourne public housing estate refurbishment where Kelly demanded a meeting with Housing Minister Colin Brooks, regarding her relocation and the situation for other residents. The government has delivered a stance. "We acknowledge that moving home can be difficult, but to deliver more than 300 new and much-needed social and affordable homes at Barak Beacon, we need to relocate any remaining residents. Margaret has been offered three separate modern, spacious and accessible homes nearby but has refused to engage with Homes Victoria to explore the suitability of these homes. If she chooses to, Margaret will have priority access to return to one of the newly constructed homes at Barak Beacon once the redevelopment is complete. This important project will revitalise the Barak Beacon community and allow more people to make Port Melbourne their home," says a Victorian Government spokesperson.   Grace speaks with Jordan Guiao, author of "Disconnect: Why We Get Pushed to Extremes Online & How to Stop It?" discussing the current internet situation following the rise of AI and the importance to support media diversity.   Breakfast presenter Priya Kunjan speaks with Executive Director of Digital Rights Watch, James Clark, about the use in Australia of "landlord tech" such as Snug, which has attracted scrutiny after revelations about its dubious method of "scoring" of rental applications in a Guardian exclusive late last year. Snug has been engaged by Homes Victoria to develop a platform to allocate affordable housing in the state via random ballot, raising additional concerns about the nature and use of this technology. Snug continues to be used in 2023.

What if the government stopped you from sharing videos of police violence? Or spied on your private communications? And did it in the name of keeping you safe?  These are some of the possible outcomes of the Federal government's proposed Online Safety Bill. The Bill would give broad and unchecked powers to the Australian eSafety Commissioner to censor the internet and further extend the government's ability to intercept our private communications.  Environmental activists and campaigns might not be mentioned by the government, but there is a history of politicians and police framing activism as a criminal threat. And there's nothing to stop them from using the Online Safety Bill to do just that.  And then later on the show, it's 150 years since the Paris Commune. What can those 19th century revolutionaries teach us about our digital world today?     Guest: Lizzie O'Shea (Digital Rights Watch).    Links:  'Explainer: The Online Safety Bill' Digital Rights Watch  'The Judgment of Paris: Facebook vs. the Communards' Lizzie O'Shea  '#HeyASIO: data retention and the threat to activism' Earth Matters October 2015     Earth Matters #1291 was produced by Teishan Ahearne.

The Australian Government, headed up by the ACCC, has conducted an indepth inquiry into the digital platforms, and has come up with a proposed media bargaining code, which was revealed earlier this year. The Code has a number of aspects to it, but has drawn most attention for the way it proposes to force the platforms to pay Australian media companies and local content in their search and on their feeds. Suffice to say the digital platforms aren't happy.Google and Facebook have come out fighting against the Australian government's news media bargaining Code, and have accused the Code of potentially 'breaking' the internet, and threatened to remove their services.The showdown is the latest example of the immense power struggles being waged between State actors and the new world superpowers; big tech. How can and should the law be used to regulate online platforms, and is Australia's Code the best way of doing it?Gemma and Daniel discuss with academic and senior lecturer Dr Jake Goldenfein from University of Melbourne Law Scool and Lizzie O'Shea, a lawyer and writer of the book ‘Future Histories’.

When we talk about technology we always talk about the future—which makes it hard to figure out how to get there. In Future Histories: What Ada Lovelace, Tom Paine, and the Paris Commune Can Teach Us about Digital Technology (Verso), Lizzie O’Shea argues that we need to stop looking forward and start looking backwards. Weaving together histories of computing and social movements with modern theories of the mind, society, and self, O’Shea constructs a “usable past” that help us determine our digital future. What, she asks, can the Paris Commune tell us about earlier experiments in sharing resources—like the Internet—in common? Can debates over digital access be guided by Tom Paine’s theories of democratic economic redistribution? And how is Elon Musk not a visionary but a throwback to Victorian-era utopians? In engaging, sparkling prose, O’Shea shows us how very human our understanding of technology is, and what potential exists for struggle, for liberation, for art and poetry in our digital present. Future Histories is for all of us—makers, coders, hacktivists, Facebook-users, self-styled Luddites—who find ourselves in a brave new world.

When we talk about technology we always talk about the future—which makes it hard to figure out how to get there. In Future Histories: What Ada Lovelace, Tom Paine, and the Paris Commune Can Teach Us about Digital Technology (Verso), Lizzie O’Shea argues that we need to stop looking forward and start looking backwards. Weaving together histories of computing and social movements with modern theories of the mind, society, and self, O’Shea constructs a “usable past” that help us determine our digital future. What, she asks, can the Paris Commune tell us about earlier experiments in sharing resources—like the Internet—in common? Can debates over digital access be guided by Tom Paine’s theories of democratic economic redistribution? And how is Elon Musk not a visionary but a throwback to Victorian-era utopians? In engaging, sparkling prose, O’Shea shows us how very human our understanding of technology is, and what potential exists for struggle, for liberation, for art and poetry in our digital present. Future Histories is for all of us—makers, coders, hacktivists, Facebook-users, self-styled Luddites—who find ourselves in a brave new world.

Miss JB For Breakfast this morning? JB caught up with Samantha Floreani from Digital Rights Watch about TikTok - should we be concerned about privacy through the application, what we can all do to protect our privacy through apps and if she thought the Australian Government would ban the app. We also had a winner with Smash For Cash and we found out whats going on in our sister city of Tamworth Staffordshire with Letters From Tamworth. All that and more in this edition of the JB For Breakfast Catch Up!

Should we be concerned about our privacy when it comes to TikTok? How much different is the information it collects over other apps? What should we do to minimise our digital 'footprint' when it comes to applications? Whats the probability of the Australian Government banning Tik Tok? These were just some of the questions JB asked Samantha Floreani from Digital Rights Watch this morning. If you missed it, relive this informative chat here.

Chair of Digital Rights Watch, Lizzie O'Shea talks to Zoe Daniel about the Trump Administration's plan to enlist a tech firm to build a virtual wall on the US border with Mexico.

This evening we are joined by Samantha Floreani, Campaigns Officer at Digital Rights Watch to discuss the Australian government’s COVIDSafe contact tracing app, released on 26 April. One month in and with just one instance of the app being used, there is need to reflect on the privacy concerns and human rights implications raised by the app’s operation. We will also be discussing more rights-focussed decentralised design alternatives. For more information, head to Digital Rights Watch's website: https://digitalrightswatch.org.au/2020/04/24/covid-19-trace-app/

"We have a real opportunity at this turning point of the digital revolution to make sure that we remember alternatives are possible" — Lizzie O'Shea In today's episode, we discussed how different technologies are impacting us and how we can navigate these challenges in the age of AI.

The roll out of the coronavirus contact tracing app, we are told by government, is necessary to prevent the spread of the virus and a prerequisite for the lifting of lockdown restrictions. But the deployment of such a digital technology stands along side a whole suite of laws and powers in Australia - put in place since the 9/11 attacks - that encroach on human rights and the workings of democracy. Tim Singleton Norton from Digital Rights Watch explains.

In today’s episode, Lizzie O’Shea discusses the great power of data and AI — and how we can use them to empower people rather than oppress them. She’ll discuss which technologies should be off-limits, compares data policies around the world, and proposes a code of ethics for engineers building these influential technologies. Lizzie probes who holds the power of AI and data and who should be responsible for ethics in this realm — corporations or the government — and who is better equipped to do so. Lizzie raises important questions about privacy concerns in our digital lives and even poses the question — do machines already rule the world?About Lizzie O’Shea:  Lizzie is a lawyer, writer, and broadcaster.

It has been shortlisted for the Premier’s Literary Award.  In this episode we cover the following topics: 4:00 How does the modern day compare to times in decades past as it pertains to rights—is technology a force for good? How can we take back the power of technology to benefit humanity?  8:00 How can we manage AI and digital technology in a more intentional way? How are automated processes already determining the course of many people’s lives? Lizzie explains how the future when machines takeover is, in many ways, already here. Should technology be regulated in order to help solve problems, and what problems have already occurred? 16:00 Lizzie discusses the state of regulation across the world, including GDPR and New York’s data fiduciary law. Should we move beyond contractual ideas of privacy?  18:00 Lizzie explains her stance on facial recognition. Should facial recognition be limited in the same way as chemical warfare—a line that is not to be crossed? How can facial recognition technology be oppressive, and what can you do to protect yourself?  22:00 Is the social credit system in China far-fetched in the West? Lizzie discusses the modern surveillance state.  26:00 How does technology mirror power structures in the analog world? Lizzie discusses predictive policing technology and the biases that exist within it.  31:00 Should we create a code of ethics for engineers developing these technologies? What practical things could an engineer do if a project’s implications make them uncomfortable? 38:00 Lizzie discusses the influence of large companies, social media, and why some issues they face are better suited to politics than corporations.  46:00 We converge to talk about the politics behind data and AI, the need to educate our regulators, and speak with our younger generations who will one day create the rules surrounding the tech that rules the world.

The Alliance has been formed in response to proposed anti-encryption legislation being put before the federal parliament.
