What happens when the systems we design for comfort and control become tools for abuse? Dr Hailey Daly joins Paul to unpack the uncomfortable but urgent issue of technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) and how smart home systems are being misused in domestic violence cases. From compromised CCTV and manipulated smart locks to weaponised climate control and surveillance, this conversation covers the risks, red flags, and responsibilities integrators need to take seriously.

What if the systems we install are doing harm... without us even realising? Shannon Marsh from eQ Technologies introduces integrators to the concept of Value Sensitive Design, which is a practical framework for thinking about ethics in technology. In this episode, we explore how values like autonomy, consent, and dignity show up in everyday projects… and why ignoring them is no longer an option.
