Q+A is filming from Melbourne on Monday.
Is it time to cut ‘Big Tech’ down to size?
The connectedness and convenience of technology has come at a cost: massive personal data leaks, devastating financial scams and fraud, sexploitation and revenge porn, a tide of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech, and growing concerns around cyberbullying and social media harm. Regulators are taking platforms to court as governments consider locking young Australians out.
But is censorship the answer – or even possible – or is it a threat to free speech? How do we stay safe online as offshore tech goliaths dominate so much of our lives?
Panellists:
eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant,
podcaster & UTS Professional Fellow Josh Szeps,
data scientist & social media accountability advocate, Frances Haugen,
writer, presenter, and founder of The Grade Cricketer Sam Perry
and Executive Director, Reset.Tech Australia Alice Dawkins.
Monday, August 19 at 9.35pm on ABC.
