S01-EP04 - John Naughton on Facebook in Politics, Edward Snowden, & Surveillance
Play • 44 min
Could Facebook really decide the outcome of this election? Is the Internet a positive force for democracy?  Why is global surveillance, as unveiled by Edward Snowden, not an electoral issue? We put these questions to Prof John Naughton – author of A Brief History of the Future and early advocate of the Internet’s power to change the world – and ask if politicians are tuned-in to the transformative potential of social media. Putting cynicism to one side, the team then give their good-points about the General Election so far.     Posted 4/3/15.
