Is your phone always listening? And other privacy abuses in our always-connected lives

Have you ever been creeped out by a social media ad for a product you discussed with a friend a few hours ago? Are you not sure what to make of the warnings to stop using WhatsApp or delete your social media accounts? Do you wonder what happens to your information when you scan a contact tracing QR code or fill out a health survey?

Nearly every day, we must navigate the tension between privacy and convenience, security and connectivity. Join Convergence Lab, News Co/Lab and the Programa de Periodismo del CIDE to think through these trade-offs with experts, confirm fears and bust myths. At the end, you’ll walk away with concrete tools to protect yourself online.

For even more resources, you can enroll in News Co/Lab’s free online course, “Mediactive: How to participate in our digital world”: https://courses.cpe.asu.edu/browse/cronkite/courses/cpe-cronkite-digital...
