Fairphone Podcast

Sound BYTES: With our podcast series, we're bringing you closer to the stories that drive our mission, giving you a peek behind the scenes of our efforts to change the industry. For all of you who don't have time for the full conversation and just want the highlights, we've got you covered with our Sound BYTES: Everything you need to know, in 10 minutes or less :) Chances are you’ve grown increasingly aware of data security over the past few years; this isn’t just about protecting your email password or credit card number anymore. We’ve seen first hand, in real-time, the cost of intensive data extraction on our society. From the Cambridge Analytica scandal to new concerns over coronavirus contact-tracing apps, these abstract data-mining forces are changing how we shop, eat, socialize, think, vote, live. So we're proud to announce our new partnership with /e/ Foundation for an open-source operating system that prioritizes user privacy. We sat down with /e/ founder Gael Duval and marketing & operations manager Alexis Noetinger to discuss the importance of data security for individual users, as well as society as a whole. (PS: We know the sound quality is not the best, but due to the current situation, we're recording these episodes through video meetings from remote locations. We wanted to bring you these stories despite the distance and hope you can bear with us, until we're back in our studio)
