Welcome to another episode of Crossing the Chasm. On today’s episode, I am joined by Paige Collings, the senior speech and privacy activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Paige holds master’s degrees in law, and political science and is based in Europe. On today’s episode, Paige talks about digital democracy, how surveillance affects the most marginalized in society, and provides tips and visions for creating digital democracy. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
