b'We\\u2019re delighted to be joined by Chris Gilliard (twitter.com/hypervisible) \\u2013 one of the best experts on privacy and surveillance around \\u2013 for a fantastic discussion laying out his incisive analysis of \\u201cluxury surveillance\\u201d and \\u201cimposed surveillance.\\u201d To quote Chris: \\u201cLuxury surveillance is expensive, voluntary, and sleek. Imposed surveillance is involuntary, overt, clunky, and meant to stand out.\\u201d It\\u2019s not (just) the operations of technology that distinguish these two forms of surveillance, but the socio-political relations they perpetuate and plug into. We end the episode talking about some of Chris\\u2019s work on \\u201cdigital redlining.\\u201d \\n\\nSome stuff we reference:\\n\\u2022 Privacy\\u2019s not an abstraction | Chris Gilliard: fastcompany.com/90323529/privacy-is-not-an-abstraction \\n\\u2022 Caught in the spotlight | Chris Gilliard: urbanomnibus.net/2020/01/caught-in-the-spotlight/\\n\\u2022 Luxury surveillance | Chris Gilliard and David Golumbia: reallifemag.com/luxury-surveillance/ \\n\\u2022 Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness | Simone Browne: dukeupress.edu/dark-matters\\n\\u2022 Big Tech call center workers face pressure to accept home surveillance | Olivia Solon: nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/big-tech-call-center-workers-face-pressure-accept-home-surveillance-n1276227 \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nGrab your TMK gear: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/'
