Plus: Facebook’s real name policies, pronouns, rainbow-washing and Victorian lesbians. Footnotes: https://www.theintersectionofthings.com/episodes/ep8-pride FIND US!

Episode 1: Consent
04/03/2018 Duración: 46minWhat is consent? From #MeToo to check boxes on online forms, we talk about fighting for autonomy over our bodies. We also delve into EU data protection law, smart tvs and sex education. The Internet is a strange place. It’s full of unexpected intersections. We don’t just mean finding yourself at the Wiki page on 'turtles' when you started at 'history of curling'. We mean when technology and social change collide. The Intersection of Things is a fortnightly podcast, tackling technology issues from a 'smash the patriarchy' perspective.
