In today's episode, we're going to talk about how parents and educators can inspire critical thinking in children when it comes to their relationship with data-collecting technologies. I will be joined by Fareedah Shaheed or @CyberFareedah on all platforms. Fareedah is a Forbes 30 Under 30 Internet Safety Expert who teaches parents how to protect their kids online.

Our first episode delved into what PrivaZy Collective is as an organization and community, who makes up PrivaZy, and why we think online privacy is important, especially from the perspective of those who grew up online. In this episode, we’re going to have a conversation about a specific privacy issue: the digital privacy consequences of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. 

Roe v. Wade was established under the 14th Amendment, which implicitly prevents states from infringing an individual’s right to privacy. The idea was that women should be able to make their own decision about whether to have an abortion in the first few months of pregnancy, without the intervention of the government. What we’re here to talk about today is what Dobbs means for digital privacy, collection of reproductive health data, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

We’re the toddlers who grew up with iPads. The kids who used Google for every research project. The teens who live-streamed Sunday brunches on our IG stories. We’re Gen Z, we’ve grown up with the Internet, and we think this lifelong exposure to the online world has created a particular online privacy culture. Join us to explore this culture in this podcast episode.
