Episode description

What if one day you woke up and realized the social impact project you worked on is now a tool for oppression? How about if that innocuous gamified app you've been using happens to also be a surveillance tool for hackers? Where do we draw the line between "ethical" and "poor" design? Find out more from Cade Diehm, the founder of the New Design Congress, who discusses the role of technology as an accelerant of social, political, and environmental problems and how design can be weaponised to harm users
