Over The WebRoots Democracy Podcast

WebRoots Democracy Festival was an online festival of talks, debates, and discussions examining pressing matters related to technology and democracy. It was held between 16-20 November 2020 and marked the close of WebRoots Democracy after 6 and a half years. All of the discussions are available to listen back to on this podcast. The four bonus episodes are discussions which we hosted, or co-hosted, between May to September 2020.

Bonus episode | Technology and its role in racialised surveillance

Automated facial recognition, contact tracing apps, and digital identity initiatives are on the rise. Taking examples from the UK, EU, and Australia, our event with the Portal Collective explored the implications of these new technologies for migrants and people of colour. In particular, we looked at the ways in which these technologies risk perpetuating racist outcomes in society. The event was chaired by writer and broadcaster, Yassmin Abdel-Magied from the Portal Collective. She was joined by Sarah Chander (European Digital Rights), Gracie Bradley (Liberty), Dhakshayini Sooriyakumaran (Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility), and Dr Angela Martinez Dy (Loughborough University London). This discussion took place in July 2020.

Bonus episode | Inside the Virtual Parliament

For the first time in its history, the UK Parliament has been embracing remote methods of working as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Select Committees, Prime Minister’s Questions, and, even, voting has been moved online despite historical resistance to modernisation within Parliament. This event explored the creation and deployment of the so-called ‘Virtual Parliament’ with insights from Abena Oppong-Asare MP (Labour Party); Hannah Bardell MP (Scottish National Party); Naz Shah MP (Labour Party); Matt Stutely (Director of Software Engineering, Parliament Digital Service); Nikola Spicer (Head of Software Delivery, Parliament Digital Service); and Areeq Chowdhury (WebRoots Democracy). This discussion took place in May 2020.

Disinformation and the 2020 US Presidential Election

QAnon, suspicious dossiers, and dubious claims have all been key factors of the 2020 US Presidential election. Much like the 2016 election, this election has been dogged by attempts of online disinformation. The integrity of mail-in ballots have been questioned, rumours about Joe Biden’s son have gone viral, and the FBI have said that Russia and Iran have been targeting the election online. How significant was the role of disinformation in the election? What’s changed since 2016 and what can be learned for future? We explored this with Carl Miller (Research Director, Centre for the Analysis of Social Media), Siddarth Venkataramakrishnan (European Technology Correspondent, Financial Times), Marianna Spring (Specialist Disinformation Reporter, BBC), Christine Jakobson (Tech Ethics Researcher, University of Cambridge), and Areeq Chowdhury (WebRoots Democracy). This discussion took place during the WebRoots Democracy Festival in November 2020.
