the living shannon dw podcast. how to make greener choices in your everyday lives. but honestly tried to be the working 32 hours a week to be better for the farmers than 40. but of course we shouldn't be 90 the. the living scientists just had subscribed. whatever you listen to had cost, let's start with the bad news autocrats worldwide a trying to withhold information from the citizens. we contact free and trustworthy informational means and that for granted the good news, the always to circumvent censorship. we'll talk about that and the 2nd also on the show police in different countries, us scaling technologies to hunt down criminals, less crime, sounds great. there are also drawbacks. what should we consider when deciding to involve a i, and testing and crime? and we'll also be talking about something, a little light to instagram and take, talk off full of inspiration for the holiday of your dreams more while people are also using ai for the trouble funds is taken out the best. so guys,

these are the topics that i'm moving the tech world, free and reliable information online. is it risk world wide government sense or content they know like, or even shut down the internet temporarily to withhold information from citizens and activists are exposed because that private data isn't say, these problems were discussed in november 2024 at the following will sign summit invalid free information is a very endangered space. it's because a lot of autocrats blocking the internet and we are in a situation where at the end maybe there is not much exchange anymore between people and between countries. so i think uh we have to take really care of the internet and making it for you again. so what are the biggest challenges? online sense to ship? the strictest form of online sense to ship is china's great firewall. it controls internet traffic between china and the outside world. the chinese,

since that is only connected to the outside that look at a few key points, making it possible to monitor exactly what goes in and out by blocking uses from entering websites and filtering keywords. it prevents access to certain information, it can even monitor and disrupt supposedly dangerous content governments. one thing to blog information have several options. i would say they can act that 3 different levels. they can either interfere at the level of uh, let's say, the internet's address book dns. so they can choose to give you the wrong directions in terms of accessing a particular site. in some cases, they might just close the road. they might say, when you're trying to go in a certain direction, your pockets will not go through anymore. or in other cases, they might look at specific features or properties of your traffic. and they might decide that certain classes of traffic are allowed or disallowed. russia use a similar methods, the government agent save us covenants or monitors and census mass media and

creating social media. in 2024, russia funds content from so called barn agents and criminalize ads on sites promoting vp as all virtual private networks. apple was even false to remove some vpn apps from the ups store. the pans help people get around online censorship. in simple terms, they create a virtual tunnel that highs ip addresses and keeps use of anonymous. finding them doesn't just cut citizens off from free information. it also puts political activists at risk this way unwanted reports and can be blocked before it even stops . activists in danger, people campaigning for issues such as democracy, social justice, the environment, refugees agenda, right, of being cognitive and not just by repressive regimes. active is everywhere. i need to step up the digital security to avoid surveillance on hack my recommendation to you would be to use something like 4, which is and then an image network that provides additional layers is our security

. i would suggest following a set of the common best practices avoiding password reuse, making sure that the sites that you are sharing your information with are secure and you know, following some of the available information out there. and in terms of improving your digital self defense. in case you want to run your digital self defense check the tool project website. you can find more information that. how can new technologies help with these problems? not only the active is have to step up the game, but editors a news networks do to work with vpn techniques. we work with mirror techniques, but at the end it's a cat and mouse race against sensors. and blockers, a mirror site is a copy of a website hosted on a different server to improve accessibility and low times. it help distribute traffic and shows the site remains available even if the main service bound. they

also work in regions with restrictive internet access. iran has been blocking the w websites since 2009, but thanks to a cooperation with the free vpn tool, siphoned dw, actually reach as many people back in september 2020 for the w have more than 3000000 online visits. any ross, 75 percent of them, but as the dw spice on up, if you want to use the app, just write an e mail to the w hyphen w at sites, and 3 dot come apart from the pins. and there are websites, a lot of hope lives in new encryption technologies. they could make internet censorship. honda encrypted dns or domain name system makes the address book of the internet more private. so you called me track so easily encryption on other levels would make it harder for others to control what you can access. and this is why you as an engine that use that come into the equation if you want to help guarantee free access to information online, find out about these technologies and use the helping to fight crime

sounds great. right? facial recognition could help catch criminals spots the circled predictive policing might even stop crimes before that happens. but it's not that simple. most security or a threat to privacy. that's way up the pros and cons of and policing police and they, i, a recent study found that 75 percent of european citizens support the use of allied by police and military, for example, full civilians, surprising given that innocent citizens have also been homes by for the, i don't get me wrong, kansas through large amounts of data so quickly like data bases of one to persons of crime statistics. and they can also draw conclusions. boss doesn't any police officer, but a, i makes mistakes and can be misused. check out what happens and what a service, for example, facial recognition systems, 75 percent of odds and tina's caps. the service is under video surveillance. the city rolled out a massive facial recognition program in 2019, within months. the government claims nearly 1700 wanted criminals had been caught.

but dozens of arrows were made as well, meeting to and justified police checks and even arrest one resident hmo. if the roller was wrongfully detained for 6 states data protection act of a super city which led to the system being shut down in 2022. the system has been in limbo ever since activists and city representatives haven't yet been able to agree on a legal framework because there are more consent to the investigation found the data, not just on crumbs and also on politicians active. this janice police using the systems to track people and legally and even the bigger concern with facial recognition is that it can be used estimate profiling. china for example, has use this technology to monitor and detain them as them we go. minority and facial recognition also has a general slow, doesn't work equally wealth. everyone's studies show it's least accurate for people of color, women, unknown, find individuals. so that is

a lot of work to be done for, for these systems can function without bias. predictive policing. what of crimes could be prevented before that committed? that's the idea behind predicted policing with a i large data sets can be analyzed to spot hutton's and trends. humans might miss berry. this could make police what more efficient and reduced human error and decision making. but the accuracy and fairness of these models depends on the quality and diversity of the data. the trained on the risk of reinforcing existing bias is as high when a i is trained on biased historical crime data, it can reinforce those biases over police to minority neighborhoods. may appear to have higher crime rates as a result, predictive policing tools could on savvy target these communities, increasing and equality. nevertheless, predictive models already being used in certain fields. vincent to help assess risk of large events like football matches. this allows police to focus on areas where issues i'm most likely to occur. for example,

fights and police kind of what i can say police officers time, for example, a i might be able to do paper work in the future. it can also ensure that offices in the right place at the right time, and it could even lead to fair a decisions by moving human prejudices from the equations. but to get that some obstacles need to be of a comes 1st. data bases must be trudy representative. and they've us to ensure they treat everyone phenix on 2nd, the needs to be a clear legal framework on what data authorities can access abuse of this technology could threaten our privacy and civil rights. what do you think of a policing? let us know. okay, time for something like to are you planning a vacation with a i instagram and take talk? it has never been easier to discover these places. now google is joining it with a i to months, but do algorithms really make the best travel guides?

it's a trip planning according to a survey in the us, $1.00 and $5.00 young people are already using ai for the travel tons apps designed to con trips or chat books like touchy bt and gemini could be your personal travel guides here. all 3 ways they can help us meet finding the perfect destination chapel. it's process mountains of information that can take you hours to dig through. so if you're up to something specific like warm beach with smoking spots, they can help foster don't enter detailed prompts that include things like temperature. thanks the trip as active as it. secondly, creating your itinerary. okay. i can help you create a travel routes tailored to your location, a length of stay the city visits tried google maps. mess of view uses a i and computer vision to create 3 d models of how a given place might look at a specific time up to 4 days in the future. but the feature isn't supported in every city yet. i'm fairly booking flights on hotels. many travel sites now have

chatbox to simplify the booking process. google's gemini chat, but also off as i solutions. i've been integrated with google flights on hotels. it can come pad times and prices for you for the convenience, but that's something even more useful for jen z when it comes to planning a trip using is button take talk of travel guides. and i'll take talking to instagram, make it easy to find hidden gens like cool restaurants. i've seen that use aside from travel ads, the platforms kind of actually give you a real glimpse into places. here's how to do it using june location to see posts from why you want to go. you can search by hash tags of the country, a city you want to visit to get some inspiration for cool spot. if you're not sure where to go yet, try a general hash tags like cash, type, travel, or prospect travel photography. they might give you an idea. alright. your trip is booked your words as planned. so what could go wrong? well, this kind of travel planning has its downside. what you see online might not be what you'll get. images set by influence is designed to have

a block. the appeal reality might be somewhat disappointing and you definitely need to pass a crowd. yeah, i will spit out the most search places as well. social media algorithm more use this policy and suggestions to replicate. the post over tourism might only get what that means. a popular place will become overcrowded with taurus not often results and conflict with locals, like boss alone or for example, those goals protested against overwhelming torres, proud last summer. and there's more to keep in mind. double check information from campus. they might get things wrong or the updates it also looked for reasons of use of the places you want to go to, the quality might have changed over the years. so how do you plan your trips? that's all for me today by and see you next time. the one thing i loved most about new goals such last few weeks, you know,

the heartbeat of nigeria is economy and one of the fastest growing cities in the world. megan city, legal. the big question is, wherever you're going to for all these people will show you how this a plus link. city is preparing for the future. the to the 77 percent, 30 minutes on d. w. on paper they have right? but on the streets, they are in constant danger, trans women in bogota, pressure this makes it hard for them to find work. poverty. a trade in violence are part of their everyday life in columbia. but they're solidarity and current allowed them to survive. so to us in 90 minutes on d w, the

get treated for an exciting i didn't tell you to look surprised. hi, i'm shop now. i'm ready to dive into the hands of children through to you. have you have a one the comport card via including best products from court t indians to keep close that even local press vehicle. we've got a response to this process and the expected size, the size a nice if you like history. but with the side of culture travel and control the sea, i might just do it and i may send a book us that will put the wow santa back in june every day. not every day we encounter so many things that we don't even notice. and i just kind of fade into the background, but it is still showing a spotlight on them. what you say might just surprise where to dig up the,

the on the everyday things around. where did they come from when, why did they have all the time? i should just search but they increase the amount where i mean that's the, this is the w news and these are our top stories. israel has approved a 60 day see, so i deal with has blah and 11 on the truth comes into effect on wednesday morning . the prime minister benjamin netanyahu delivered an address supporting the agreement. he wound that israel would retaliate immediately. it has full a violation of the deal to shoot us president joe biden has welcome the ceasefire saying israel has destroyed, has the laws, infrastructure in southern lebanon. he said the truce aims to bring
