Collateral Damage: Kids and the Internet Privacy Wars


Listen Later

Justin Fitzsimmons, associate vice president at the National White Collar Crime Center, joins us to raise the alarm about the way in which technology companies, social media outlets, and online privacy advocates are now purposely pitting adult privacy rights against the protection and safety of children. Think end-to-end encryption is totally innocuous? What if that means that pedophiles can endlessly trade child sexual abuse images online with impunity? And how do we—as advocates for children—keep issues of child protection front and center for policy makers, for tech and social media, and ultimately for all Americans?

Topics in this episode:

  • Origin story (1:43)
  • Trends in technology-facilitated crime (2:45)
  • The privacy problem (6:56)
  • Our tech-driven lives (14:22)
