This is a discussion you don’t want to miss. Join me as I talk with author and commentator Melinda Richards along with Fraser and Matt of cheqd UK about what business governments have with our data, what can happen when they get a taste for commodifying their citizens, and what alternatives we can look to.
I read a section from my book, describe my family’s survival of the identification and surveillance policies of 1930’s / 1940s Germany, and relate their experiences with what’s happening now.
Melinda covers the social impacts we’re seeing in Australia at the moment and her take on how identification facilitates authoritarianism.
Melinda’s book, “YOU CAN’T SAY THAT! – The demise of free thought in Australia” is available at https://www.melindarichards.com/
