Data and Dignity: Why Privacy Matters in the Digital Age
Показать описание
In this short video, Theos Senior Researcher, Dr Nathan Mladin, introduces our latest essay 'Data and Dignity'.
It’s becoming old news: we are continually tracked, analysed, and profiled by private companies and governmental agencies. Our data is hoovered up and used to predict and manipulate our behaviour. Indeed, the use of big data and algorithmic systems is on the rise in our world. A new cultural and economic order is here: surveillance capitalism or what this essay calls the “surveillance system”.
Drawing on Christian thought, Nathan sketches a conception of privacy rooted in the notion of dignity and based on the sort of creatures human beings are: embodied; relational; agential beings.
