About the Podcast
For years the platforms have written the rules. For decades the government has decided what’s good for us and isn’t. At this critical moment in history, with disinformation and tech excess at its gilded era peak, how do we rein it all in and make tech and society work better for all of us? What are the practical, legal ways we can challenge the grasp these companies and laws have on our lives and how we communicate, how much they know about us, and what they do with that data?
Joel Bakan’s Unfortunately Necessary Podcast will look at the intersection between law, society and tech.
