   Project Censored Radio Show - July 28, 2026

   This week: combating and reframing big tech. First up, I sit down with Ed from DeFlock to talk about ALPRs - Automatic License Plate Readers, and their handy way of circumventing the 4th amendment meant to protect against unlawful search. Ed also talks about the massive network of data sharing across law enforcement and private corporations, the use of the data for more than stated purposes - from assisting ICE to stalking ex-girlfriends. Ed reminds us that a functioning democracy does not surveil their population, and lists ways that communities across the country are fighting back. Next up, I sit down with Heidi Lim from AI Resist List to talk about reframing AI, and the possible futures that both buck the current iteration of AI and avoid the binary of anti-tech vs. pro-tech. Heidi points out that the purpose is not just to give people hope but to give them ideas, to become literate in not only what AI is but how to combat it creatively - because if AI is where creativity goes to die, perhaps combating it is where creativity can be reborn.  Notes: Ed is a member of DeFlock and has been organizing and researching police use of surveillance technologies for nearly a decade. Heidi Lim is a climate communicator focused on increasing climate literacy and rooted in environmental justice. Her work puts a climate lens on topics like technology, justice, and culture, which is ultimately how she came more recently to working on AI ethics.

And something that I noticed is that When it comes to a lot of conversations surrounding banned books or media or just things happening directly to the classroom, there's not a lot of youth voice or a lot of youth perspective on it. Rather, it's just a lot of partisans or a lot of parents concerned about what their kids want to learn or what classrooms should look like, which is completely understandable. But the issue with that lies in that us as students aren't being considered as stakeholders And the majority of opinions or perspectives from us aren't the most considered. […]
