We start this podcast off talking about the WWE situation with Zelina Vega. We discuss how WWE was at the forefront of the current labor situation by designating wrestlers as contractors rather than employees and the relation this has to Uber, Doordash, OnlyFans, and other gig-economy jobs. We chat about the danger of the new capitalist structure where corporations work around labor rights. We then link this to the controversy over Muslim Pro and selling data of users to the US Defense Department. We talk about the dangers of surveillance apps and how the real threat wasn’t big brother, but tech companies looking to make money. We analyze a situation where we acquiesce to giving up our privacy and how it differs from previous struggles over government overreach.
