  • Online dating, Safety, and Surveillance.

    In this episode, we ruminate on online dating, safety and surveillance through one case study: the Tea App, a platform built to help women stay safe that ended up exposing the very women it was meant to protect. We start with the real problem, women’s safety in a country where gender-based violence is a daily reality, and ask what separates care from surveillance when they look exactly the same.
