Steal This Show S02E10: In Surveillance Valley

Today we bring you the next episode of the Steal This Show podcast, discussing renegade media and the latest file-sharing and copyright news. In this episode, we talk to journalist and writer Yasha Levine.

This episode features journalist and writer Yasha Levine discussing some of the topics covered in his forthcoming book, Surveillance Valley.

Yasha argues that the biggest threat to our privacy comes not directly from the government, but via the ubiquitous corporate platforms we all use every day – including Google, Facebook, eBay and others – and the ‘data brokers’ that buy and sell the most intimate information about our lives.
