Creepily Convenient

Two Black Nerds

In this episode, Two Black Nerds have a discussion around privacy, inspired by the recent Ashley Madison hack. They attempt to give their own answers to the question, "How much do we really care about our privacy?" and how lack of privacy can be both a positive and a negative. They also talk about Facebook Graph project, Google Location History, and targeted advertisements.
