BBC Radio 4 - P's and Q's, Privacy

Vanessa Feltz hosts a philosophical discussion and asks - does privacy matter?

Vanessa Feltz hosts a discussion to explore the idea of privacy with guests Professor Carissa Veliz, Godwin Busuttil, Jacqui Hames.

In this week’s episode of Ps and Qs, Vanessa Feltz asks - does privacy matter?

The notion of privacy dates back to antiquity, when Ancient Greek philosophers first conceived of the public and personal space as two distinct spheres. Over the last 20 years however, it has often felt as though our privacy is being eroded, from the phone hacking scandal to the way tech giants gather information about us all online.

What do we mean by privacy? And why does it matter? 

Guests: Professor Carissa Veliz, Godwin Busuttil, Jacqui Hames. 

Presenter: Vanessa Feltz
Producer: Camille Corcoran
