522-Doctorow: "Surveillance Capitalism and the IoT"

Today's podcast features writer and EFF advisor Cory Doctorow who points out the dangers involved with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the serious problems with enforcing copyrights through invasive technology. As he says, “The real struggle here, it's not making computers free, it's making people free. The reason we want to save computers is not because computers are more important than racial justice, or gender equity, or getting rid of homophobia and transphobia, or the climate. The reason we want to make computers free and open is because we cannot win those fights without a few and open information infrastructure.”
