Edward Snowden & Gavin Wood - Trust and transparency in the metaverse era

Interested in coming to TNW 2023 🎡 ? Look no further, you can register today thenextweb.com/conference
Trust and Transparency in the Metaverse - First debate. Then change. Edward Snowden sparked discourse about the lack of accountability of modern global surveillance systems and the threats to the human right to privacy in the digital age. Is the rate of change moving as quickly as the speed of innovation? With the rise of digital twins, the emergence of the metaverse, and an even-more networked world, what can we learn from the past to avoid making detrimental choices as we further develop technology? What are the parallels and red flags in current and emerging technologies? What must technology creators and changemakers do to build checks and balances and minimize the negative implications of their technological advancements on society and individuals?

Gavin playing the 200 IQ move of talking to Ed Snowden and the SEC at the same time.

[@DheerajKumar-fh8jj]

I liked how they used open-source jitsi-meet platform to invite Snowden to the conference. Open source is also one of the way to ensure the software is trustable as its underlying working mechanisms are open to the public.

[@TheNextWeb]

Smart right? Glad you appreciated!

[@specopsbarton]

"Open source is also one of the way to ensure the software is trustable as its underlying working mechanisms are open to the public." Everyone is saying this until they design their own first unique program/game which they want to sell it 😊

[@jonasserra4000]

Why did they limit this convo to 45 mins? This needed to be 3 hours minimum

[@ANONNYMOMMY]

why would they stop them mid flow. i can't get enough of these two talking

[@lydiamalinovic9402]

how clever you are Edward ,gives hopes for future if young people are like you .....

[@SoyPeruanoTV]

Muy exquisitos en los puntos de vista.

[@viaceslavmikhailovich9825]

Let's hope the internet system will deteriorate not too much, so we be able to use it and enjoy.

[@SirFerfabian]

excelente

[@geraldirwin6177]

I wanna hear from Gavin Wood regarding the Acala and AUSD hack asap!

[@Skylla54]

At the moment its locked and the governance of Acala decides what they do with it. It was quite lucky, because Manta a privacy Parachain was not on the chain. If they would be on chain to this time, this money would be untraceable. I guess Gavin wood say, ask the acala team or something along these lines. Nonetheless a sentence would be cool and really intresting.

[@TheNextWeb]

we'll keep in mind for next TNW Conference!

[@elizabethjohnston3135]

OMB DHS hack

[@soumyadeepsarkar541]

Hey I got the chance to write my first comment here .

[@punjabismartass]

One word. FLARE

[@g_snipe]

This should have millions if not billions of views. We are all on team humanity. Snowden understands the potential of this technology and how it can bring us to a much better world for everyone on the planet. It doesn't have to be like this, but we all need to get on board. The governments of the world need to catch up.

[@milire2668]

volume... ed rocks!

[@janinegarverick7062]

Plus, then you have ownership of creative rights , intellectual property. So if you create a program while working for anyone not independently it's there not the creators

[@janinegarverick7062]

We're already at a volatility

[@missjammehvishishdoll5907]

Neat

[@janinegarverick7062]

Thank you, good pod cast

[@TheNextWeb]

Thank you!

[@janinegarverick7062]

Plus, service providers just give you phone without providing set up nor safety and protection. That's not offering a service that's proving the purchase of a phone and most now don't offering purchase offers only finance, that's a contract for a phone not a service

[@kevin179887]

Snowden for President! Make America great again!

[@dawnsmith3270]

You sign up as soon as you agree to any app

[@dawnsmith3270]

Please upload exposures . Not obsolete info real time info

[@janinegarverick7062]

Current phones are also missing functions that used to be available

[@ajl2232]

Such as?

[@christophersiler65]

Snowden i wonder if zuck is in charge of metadata program now that google changed hands.... possible you think?

[@janinegarverick7062]

Their are service providers and then their are publishers, then there is the web, let's not for applications. The Service Providers should not be controlling all

[@JuliaGrigorian1]

I'm happy you're a lucky father! I love you!

[@luismiguelortiz1921]

🌞❤️🔥📈

[@Grizzly334]

So when he said crypto played a big role in the 2013 leak what exactly is he trying to say because that just sounds sketchy.

[@criptobird8678]

No sabía que Guti se había convertido en desarrollador de criptomonedas :-P

[@janinegarverick7062]

Your info goes to the cloud and you never see it again and that's called backup

[@robimalco]

Ridiculous to interrupt him at the end in this way

[@luckycat3302]

It always seems to boil down to GREED!

[@_STNML]

I side with Snowden’s concerns. Gavin’s a little too idealistic.

[@antoine6469]

Snowden could be Satoshi, the bitcoin's creator. Is it so crazy to think that?

[@bepositive2172]

Yes

[@ajl2232]

What do you mean?

[@ts4116]

too less views yet, unfortunately.

[@janinegarverick7062]

Their are Laws and then there are Rules. Rules are made up as they go

[@bryangobonkers]

Just like the Covid 19 lockdowns, totally violated our right and freedom of choice whether or not ppl wanted to keep their job or take the jab

[@JuliaGrigorian1]

Please stop Angelina JOlie, I am the one for Beautyinsurances and medicine against cancer! Besides, I"m the best composer in the world. This world needs me alive. I love you, thank you SOOO much for your time! Anna Bartoli.

[@user-uk6tk5xp1t]

Snowden is OLD. He is talking about cell phones and phone records. That's yesterday's news. Today, both Governments around the world and the Private Sector use "SATELLITES" to penetrate your home's roof tops and they can locate you with a push of a button and see you as clear as a television image in full color and use technology in your home to listen in on whatever you are saying. This technology penetrates anything, even if you cover up your computer with a cloth or any material. They can see your body temperature, even the movement of body parts underneath your clothing right in your house. This is what I am certain. With today's technology of computer vision and facial recognition, I believe they can track your face from satellites. There is no known way to combat this.

[@IxNOvaSNipezxI]

😂😂😂

[@user-gi6db4bw2o]

lmao, how? There is no such thing, plz proof with some scientific papers.

[@user-uk6tk5xp1t]

@@IxNOvaSNipezxI How many years now could we have used satellites to penetrate the earth's atmosphere to identify weather patterns....that's almost 30 years or more....you think technology on satellites have not advanced in that time to penetrate your house roof tops? Come on folks....were the engineers sleeping. Trust me, they were not. This technology has been available for more than 10 years now, although illegal. That's why they say, well, we don't have resolution to do it.......we only have the resolution in 10 centimeters..... that's not true.

[@JuliaGrigorian1]

Kissing you lovely! anna.

[@janinegarverick7062]

Predictive Programming

[@ajl2232]

What do you mean?

[@tommcgivern8020]

The scary thing is that guy looked in the mirror before he left his house and was ok with going out into the world
