Description
Will the US election be hacked? Are the voting machines secure? What role are the tech bros playing – how powerful are they? And how much foreign inference has there already been in this campaign?... These are the kinds of questions being asked in Ctrl Alt Deceit: Democracy in Danger – a brand new podcast designed to dive deep into the threats facing our democracies.  Ahead of our first episode this Thursday October 31st, hosts Nina Dos Santos and Owen Bennett-Jones thought they’d give you an insight into what the podcast is all about.  Ctrl Alt Deceit: Democracy in Danger is brought to you by Democratys, a charity committed to exposing interference in our democratic institutions and inspiring debate and engagement in our democratic process in the UK and beyond.  Hosted on Acast.
