Your digital life is under threat. And the dangers are not always who you think.

Description

This week on Somewhere on Earth; The Global Tech Podcast

When the Internet turns against you. We hear how LGBTQ+ communities across Africa are being targeted with horrific abuse on social platforms – while Big Tech looks the other way. We speak to Access Now’s Jaimee Kokonya on why being online is an act of bravery.

And… is your AI assistant spying on you? Research from University College London shows some popular browser extensions are harvesting your most sensitive data. Professor Anna Maria Mandalari reveals which extensions failed the test, which one passed, and how to protect yourself.


The tech stories that matter with Gareth Mitchell and Ania Lichtarowicz.

Out this Tuesday at 2100BST.
