Stay ConnectedGood Code is a weekly podcast on ethics in our digital world.
We look at ways in which our increasingly digital societies could go terribly wrong, and we speak with those trying to prevent that. If you like TV shows, think of it as Black Mirror meets The Good Place: Dystopian scenarios, with a way out.
Good Code is a collaboration of Cornell Tech’s Digital Life Initiative and visiting journalist Chine Labbe.

In this episode, we speak with Philosopher Helen Nissenbaum. She's a professor of Information Science at Cornell Tech, and the director of the Digital Life Initiative. She has spent the last two decades working on redefining online privacy, and calling for a "post-consent" approach. We ask her about her theory of privacy as contextual integrity, we discuss the obfuscation techniques she's developed to fight online surveillance, and we visit SPYSCAPE, an immersive spy museum which opened last year in midtown Manhattan.
In this episode (our very first!), we speak with journalist Julia Angwin. After years covering technology at The Wall Street Journal and ProPublica, she is now the co-founder and editor-in-chief of a startup nonprofit newsroom called The Markup. The Markup should start publishing in the Spring. Its goal? Investigating technology, and the way it impacts society. Its secret weapon? Data-driven journalism, produced by a staff that is made up of half journalists and half technologists.
