An Introduction to Digital Privacy Self-defence | John Nugent

Every time you use the internet you're being tracked and profiled. Companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon use this information to make assumptions about us and decisions for us. Their advertiser clients do the same. And so now do governments.

You'll be shocked by the stories of how your data is being used and relieved to learn how to protect yourself, your civil liberties and the future of our democracies.

John Nugent is author of 'Digital Privacy Self-defence: Why it matters and what to do' (2023) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BYTPT8X6) and founder of the Institute for Digital Privacy (https://www.idigprivacy.com/).

The Covid event has revealed that it was about more than just public health and the political, economic and societal aspects of the response are of far greater significance than the virus itself. There remains a continued drive toward the transformation of our societies in ways that threaten democracy and our existing ways of life. Open Society Sessions aim to examine the political, societal and economic dimensions of our recent experience and analyse developments in the future.
