All Eyes on Me!

In this episode, we get into the business of government surveillance. We go to Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda to inquire how and why governments surveil their citizens, tap our phones, lurk in our emails, and follow our digital footprints. We discuss why the South African RICA law, aka surveillance law, was declared unconstitutional, and probe why Nigerian lawyers have taken their Communications Commission to court. We examine the mass deployment of CCTV cameras in the streets of Kampala and ask why Kagame is hacking WhatsApp.

Shutting Down Online Violence

Ever wonder why women have been forced to apologize, and even face arrest when their private images are leaked? In this episode, we talk about technology-facilitated violence against women. We ask who's responsible, why the tech-bros are trying to undress women, and what role do law enforcement and social media platforms play in facilitating and mitigating this violence against women.

Digital ID- Myths and Misconceptions

In this episode, we try to bust some of the myths and misconceptions around digital IDs. Why do refugees burn their figure prints? Is data protection all you need before rolling out digital ID programs? Will everyone qualify for a digital ID? Do we even need digital IDs? What happens when our private information is leaked?

I Have Nothing to Hide!

Following the continued fallout of a massive data scandal at Facebook, we're left wondering about how equipped African government and citizens are to handle and protect private information. Are there laws in place to protect our privacy? Can they be implemented appropriately? What does GDPR mean for technology companies across the continent? We chat with Information Security Expert, Bernard Wanyama, and Linet Kwamboka the Founder/CEO of DataScience Ltd. in Kenya about all things data privacy. Do we need more government regulation? Should we care about our data being used to decide what cornflakes we eat and who we vote for? What would this mean for Freedom of Expression and Right to Privacy? Bernard and Linet bring different and at time conflicting perspectives on how to deal with data privacy issues in the continent.
