Is our right to privacy meaningless in this tech age? (Part Two)

Ideas

Can we really protect our privacy, a right included in the UN's Declaration of Human Rights? This document, which is over 75 years old, reads: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with [one's] privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon [one's] honour and reputation." It's a right with profound implications for our lives in the 21st century, from digital surveillance to sexuality and autonomy. This is the second part of our five-part series exploring the protections promised in this old document, and asks what rights we need to add for the future. *Episode originally aired on Sept. 3, 2024.
