Our Truth
Manage episode 306343317 series 2344129
Welcome back to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast.
If you’re new here we’re a podcast that talks about what’s new on the Tech for Good scene, but more often than not we end up talking about how tech is being used for evil - quite timely for Halloween!
Talking of Halloween, the agenda this week is pretty scary! We talk about the fact that Trump is making a comeback. The world is heating up and campaigners are keeping a close eye on global leaders ahead of the UN’s climate change conference COP26. And surprise, surprise Facebook is back to its dodgy dealings.
Fay Schofield is your host and she is joined by TfGL regular Greg Ashton.
Our special guest this week is Ana Zarraga, Head of Digital and Content at Global Witness, an organisation that challenges the abuses of power to protect human rights, the environment and secure the future of our planet.
This week’s topics:
