49: Watching You

In this episode we will be reminding you that yes big brother is watching you but did you know this included being able to know exactly what you are doing in your home? It's for your own safety though right?  What about facial recognition on children...where is the line on who is being watched and how much watching is happening and where does all this data go?
We will discuss China as the pilot for these kinds of technologies and the impact this can have on an individuals day to day life.  As well as the precedence set for this kind of invasive tech. Subscribe to our podcast so you never miss an episode!
