Morals and money in tech: Does Zuckerberg really know who your next lover is?

Johanna Kinnock and Maria Jencel try to find out what it actually takes to be the change they want to see in the world. Do you ever get the sense that your phone knows a bit too much about you? For this episode of the 5 Podcast, we take a deep dive into our own data and investigate whether Mark Zuckerberg truly knows "who our next partner will be”. We ask digitisation expert Christiane Vejlø (Elektronista) about what exactly he meant by that, and whether a moral compass is on its way to Silicon Valley anytime soon. Finally, we talk to the founder of an ethical search engine, who proves that there are people in the tech world who are at least as concerned about our right to privacy as they are about making money.  

 

Here are some of the things that inspired us when making the podcast.
