In this episode, Jillian York and Konstantinos Komaitis talk to Rebecca MacKinnon. Rebecca, a long advocate of human rights who currently serves as Vice President for Advocacy at Wikimedia Foundation, talks about about how the convergence of unchecked government actions and unaccountable government practices is threatening the future of democracy and human rights around the world. Focusing on the way the Internet has evolved over the past years, Rebecca discusses the role platforms play in the exercise of human rights and how relevant her book, "The Consent of the Networked", still is 10 years later.
