Episode Synopsis

The old adage is true - there is no such thing as a free lunch. In the case of social media platforms, they may be free at the point of use but that is only because it us who are the products for sale. These platforms harvest our data to study our behaviour and subsequently sell this data to advertisers who in turn target us with carefully curated ads based on our consumer profile. These advertisers then sell our data to other vendors. The consequences are that we never really know which are our own thoughts and which beliefs have been imposed upon us. Tune in to this week’s episode to discuss the perils of living life online.I'd love to get your feedback and hear your thoughts and comments at [email protected].
