Asad introduces a new website, Fann, a hub for celebrating Muslim creativity across various fields such as TV, film, books, music, and more. He also introduces a new podcast series in collaboration with the website called FannBoy Friday. Today's episode brings an interview from FannBoy Friday in which Johana Bhuiyan, a senior tech reporter and editor at The Guardian, discusses her coverage of surveillance practices targeting marginalized groups, with a focus on immigration surveillance. She delves into her investigation of a former cattle monitoring company working with ICE to surveil migrants using ankle monitors, facial recognition apps, and smartwatches. Bhuiyan highlights the lack of transparency in the use of such technology, emphasizing the storing of collected data for up to 75 years. The discussion expands to broader issues of privacy, law enforcement requests, and the opaque practices of data brokers, revealing the real harms in the ad tech surveillance model.
Produced by Rifelion Media.
Hosted by Asad Butt and Shahjehan Khan.
