Coping With Surveillance

We’re being watched: by surveillance cameras, safety tools, strangers in public, our own devices, and now by wearable tech that turns every interaction into potential content. Observation has become the ambient condition – part convenience, part paranoia.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack the psychology of being observed in how it shapes the calculated self, mull over the ethical questions raised by the latest wave of wearable tech like Meta Glasses, and confess the accidental data breaches from their own lives. It seems that the next era of surveillance culture might reshape our inner lives long before legislation ever catches up.Modernising Australia’s Privacy Laws for the Digital Age, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland’s press releaseI Feel So Sorry For My AI Sunglasses by Sam Anderson, New York TimesMeta’s Smart Ray-Ban Glasses Let Me Live in the Moment.
