Have you heard of the privacy paradox? It\u2019s the contradiction between our claims to care about privacy \u2014 and our refusal to protect it.<\/p>\n

The paradox came to mind while working on the debut episode of our brand-new podcast: TNW Backstage.<\/p>\n

The show takes you behind the scenes of TNW\u00a0Conference \u2014 and the tech<\/a> shaping our world. Our first episode\u00a0features a standout guest: Ron de Jesus, the world\u2019s first Field Chief Privacy Officer.<\/p>\n

The conversation explores the evolution of privacy threats. One hot topic is Meta\u2019s controversial \u201cpay or consent\u201d model, which gives users a stark choice: allow ad-tracking or go ad-free for a fee.<\/p>\n

When we spoke to Ron last year, the strategy was drawing fire from regulators, civil society groups, and nonprofits. But did that scare users away?<\/p>\n

Not really. Meta\u2019s user base has continued growing \u2014 and the company is doubling down on the model.\u00a0 It\u2019s a prime example of the privacy paradox in action.<\/p>\n

In TNW Backstage, we dig into these tensions and other big privacy issues. We also discuss how they\u2019re shaping the agenda for this year\u2019s TNW Conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the podcast\u2019s launch, we\u2019re offering an exclusive discount on tickets for the event, which takes place on June 19 and 20. Tune in to TNW Backstage on Spotify<\/a> or via the podcast\u2019s homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading \u2014 and now, for listening too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
