What’s happened to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 16.9 for legal identity for all by 2030? Has it been repurposed to support other goals? And if so, who’s responsible?
In this episode we’re in conversation with Tom Fisher, senior researcher at Privacy International, a human rights and surveillance advocacy organization based in London.

The looseness of the goal and how it is measured has created something of a vacuum which has allowed governments, international organizations and the private sector to interpret the SDG in their own ways. Reports of negative impacts on people around the world have accompanied positive developments and progress towards the goal.
Fisher discusses the response of civil society.
Privacy International was one of more than 70 organizations and individuals to sign a joint letter calling on organizations such as the World Bank as wells as donor countries to “cease activities that promote harmful models of digital identification systems.”

We plan to hear from the other side of the debate in an upcoming episode.
