Episode Topic: The End of Privacy: How Intimacy Became Data and How to Stop ItFrom time immemorial, privacy has been an important, necessary condition for human development. The ability to experiment with who we are, explore our innermost thoughts and desires, and to set boundaries around relationships allows us to develop as full persons engaging in and with greater society.
