PSA Today

Kaliya welcomes her long-time colleague and frequent collaborator Jim to talk about his history at the front-line of identity management through today.  From the Tru.net site: "In many domains, starting with the COVID-19 crisis, the world literally needs a new way of “thinking together”, a new way of collaboratively engaging in a deliberative process, where content can be traced to its source, information has real accountability, and we can choose what to disseminate across society-at-large. As the realization of the need for this burst into the mainstream, it became clear that a general network solution is needed by all organizations, not just for climate, and Tru was born.

Kaliya and Seth welcome Jihana Barrett to talk about her experience educating people about Cyber Security and Social Engineering in the context of the Twitter Hack, Tik Tok, and more!

Kaliya and Seth welcome James Felton Keith to PSA Today.  James is a ethicist, engineer, educator, economist, entrepreneur, and ethnographer, who just ran for congress in District 13 in Manhattan.  According to James, "#DataIsLabor and we owe you a #DataDividend from productivity because you #OwnYourData. " He describes how data is matter, transactions are friction, and value is energy.

Today is July 1, the first day that CCPA is being enforced in California, as well as the launch of Andrew Yang's fascinating DDP (Data Dividend Project).  We think through the implications of both of these and discuss how realistic it is for consumers to see real $ in exchange for their data, and how this might play out in the future.

Here are some of the companies we refer to in today's episode: transcend.io, jumboprivacy.com and donotpay.com.

No guests, no agenda, just a good freewheeling conversation about how issues of surveillance and privacy are ebbing and flowing through the latest pandemic contact tracing dynamics and recent #blm protests.  We end with a discussion of the seeming paradox of a future that promises anonymity while also giving people their own unique, authentic "voices" to be heard.

We start by discussing the latest news about the Senate's on-again off-again attempt to reauthorize Section 215 with an amendment that would prevent the FBI from being able to search our search and browser history without a warrant.  We then welcome Leah Houston, MD, onto the podcast to talk about her journey from Emergency Physician to Medical Privacy Advocate.  Leah is the CEO of HPEC, the Humanitarian Physicians Empowerment Community, which provides doctors with an easy way to organize in a digital space while also maintaining sovereign independence from centralized hierarchy and control.
