Author: EngageMedia August 13, 2020 Duration: 50:42

On this episode of Pretty Good Podcast, we chat with Simon Harman and Sam de Silva from the Loki Foundation, makers of private messaging app Session, on the benefits of and challenges to using secure tools for communications. We also discuss ways to raise awareness on the importance of privacy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific where access to digital tech and literacy is highly uneven.


Hosted by EngageMedia, Pretty Good Podcast: Discussions on Digital Rights explores the often unseen connections between daily life and the digital frameworks that shape it. This isn't a series about abstract tech theory; it's grounded in the real-world experiences of the Asia-Pacific region. Each conversation focuses on how current events, from shifting political landscapes to new social movements, directly intersect with critical issues like online privacy, freedom of expression, and digital access. The podcast deliberately amplifies local and regional voices, offering perspectives that are frequently overlooked in global tech discourse. By linking headlines to the underlying principles of digital rights, the show provides essential context for understanding how power operates in our connected world. Tune in for thoughtful, accessible discussions that make the complex landscape of our digital lives not just understandable, but relevant to everyone. You'll find a natural flow of ideas in this podcast, where experts, activists, and community members break down why digital rights matter far beyond the screen.
