Hakeem Anwar joins Alec for a discussion on how Big Tech tracks, trades, and monetizes user data — and what we can do to reclaim privacy. A former health firm engineer turned technologist, Hakeem exposes the hidden collaboration between Apple, Google, and law enforcement through systems like “Sensor Vault.” He also explains how surveillance extends beyond devices into the spiritual domain and introduces Above, a suite of privacy-first tools designed for autonomy.
