This week, we are joined by Pavlina Pavlova, 2024 New America #SharetheMicinCyber Fellow and Cybercrime Expert at the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and she is discussing her research calling for a shift in the tech conversation to address gender-specific harms and promote safer, more inclusive digital environments. Ben has the story of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau trying to cut down on predatory data brokers. Dave's got the story of the FTC’s New Rule on Fake Consumer Reviews and Testimonials.
