Thread 🧵

Big Tech has been front and centre in the global response to COVID19. But are tech solutions really the best solutions during a crisis?

Find out more with @hey_alirae in episode 3 of #AllHailTheLockdown | aje.io/njuwp
In episode 3 @hey_alirae looks at:

- Technological solutionism
- Contact tracing
- Privacy vs Public Health
- Tech surveillance in Israel
- Big Tech’s bluetooth ‘solution’

We discuss all this with @marwasf @seanmmcdonald, @evgenymorozov & @SharonAWeiss.

#AllHailTheLockdown
Tech innovations have been vital in grappling with the COVID-19 crisis. But @evgenymorozov cautions against the pitfalls of ‘technological solutionism’ where technology is seen as superhero and saviour, while other solutions aren't considered enough.
