Surveillance Capitalism, Technology, and Islamic Ethics
Update: 2021-11-19
Description
When we express our concerns about Big Tech's control of our data, it is usually in terms of a right to privacy and our data which clashes with our supposed choice to surrender it. But how can alternative ethical systems help to reframe this problem? In this episode, Middle Eastern Political Economy Professor Mehmet Asutay argues that rights-based understandings are at the root of our destructive global economy. We discuss how debates about climate change, privacy, and social credit systems look instead from an Islamic ethics perspective, and what, if anything, we should learn from it.
