The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast: Concerns grow around surveillance and technology’s impact on women 

Recent cases highlight concerns about surveillance and privacy, as Margaret E Ward explores how technology may affect women’s safety

This week's podcast explores surveillance concerns and impact of technology on women’s safety with Margaret E Ward

The West Cork woman whose partner allegedly knew her whereabouts at all times and the Cork city retail worker whose interaction with a customer went viral, even though she didn’t know he was filming, are among recent cases reported by the Irish Examiner.

These two cases are presented as examples of concerns about surveillance and control of women, with some critics arguing that technology platforms can enable such behaviour.
