About the Episode

Ron Deibert, author of Reset and director of the Citizen’s Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs, explains how the Internet has become an albatross, why social media is an existential threat, and what we can do about it. He shares his fears of being detained in China, and how he ended up on stage with Gord Downie. And he talks about how each of us should practice digital hygiene, understand both the threats and benefits of innovation, and scrutinize the 19th Century controls we put on 21st Century technology.
