In this 36-minute TED talk, investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr engages in a thought-provoking conversation with TED head Chris Anderson following her TED2025 presentation. Explore the critical tension between big tech companies and privacy rights as Cadwalladr warns about "surveillance fascism" and questions what happens when Silicon Valley giants control communication platforms and weaponize intellectual property.

Recorded at TED2025 on April 9, 2025, this discussion challenges viewers to consider how society can uphold fundamental principles like "Do not steal" in the digital age, and examines whether big tech and privacy can truly coexist.
