Description

Who is listening in and tracking our digital activity? And is it really necessary? Recorded live at the 2024 Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco, Rapid Response host Bob Safian sits down with Signal president Meredith Whittaker to discuss privacy, trust and digital surveillance, from governments and from companies. Whittaker argues that we should question what she sees as extreme data collection by big tech, and she rejects the notion that encrypted apps like Signal are responsible for enabling bad actors. Meredith also shares why she helped organize protests at Google, the philosophy that inspired Signal's founder Moxie Marlinspike, and more.
