Steppin' Off The Edge

Steppin' Off The Edge


Internet Immune System

August 31, 2012

Lindsey Pinto is the Communications Manager of OpenMedia, a grassroots organization that safeguards the possibilities of the open Internet. Just like your immune system protects your internal organs and body systems against viruses and other disease which can harm your ability to function, Open Media wants to build citizen awareness and engagement to advance informed and participatory digital policy in Canada. She steps off the edge with me to discuss the history and funding of Open Media, the impacts of a consolidated media landscape, trade policy secrecy and the TPP (HINT: IT'S A TRAP!) and the spectrum between privacy and transparency.
