Big Tech Is Dismantling Democracy — Here's How to Fight Back

🎙️ This week on The Disinfo Detox, civil liberties lawyer and author Heidi Boghosian joins us to expose how the digital world is quietly dismantling democracy — and what we can do to stop it.

In her new book Cyber Citizens: Saving Democracy with Digital Literacy, Boghosian lays out the uncomfortable truth: Big Tech isn’t just eroding privacy — it’s reshaping our rights, behaviors, and systems of power.

Host Nolan Higdon dives into how our uncritical embrace of technology handed control to corporate interests — and what a digitally literate public must do to fight back.

Together, they explore:

👉 How Big Tech undermines civic life and democratic processes
👉 The dangers of surveillance capitalism, data harvesting, and algorithmic control
👉 Why digital literacy is a survival skill — and a political weapon
👉 How schools, policymakers, and everyday citizens can reclaim digital space

With hard-hitting insights from a legal and media expert, this episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to protect democracy in the age of data.
