Join us for an unmissable discussion on why 'Privacy is Power'

“A bracing call to arms to fight back against digital surveillance before it is too late.” — Richard Waters, Financial Times on Véliz's book Privacy is Power

This Wednesday, July 9, join us for a no-holds-barred live discussion with Dr. Carissa Véliz and Roger McNamee — two of the sharpest minds taking on Silicon Valley’s surveillance machine. Moderated by our own Carole Cadwalladr, this is a deep dive into how power really works in the digital age — and how we take it back.

Expect sharp analysis and zero bullshit. We’ll be digging into:

• The toxic business model driving Big Tech’s data greed
• Why privacy shouldn’t be a luxury — it’s a human right
• How we got here — and how we fight back

This isn’t just a tech talk. It’s a wake-up call - on why we should care about our data.

When? Wednesday 9 July, 5 - 6pm BST / 9 - 10am PST

How to watch? The live will be streamed on our Substack channel, Citizens Reunited. Make sure to subscribe to be notified when we go live!

We have a great panel with us.

Dr. Carissa Véliz

Author of Privacy is Power, Carissa is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford and one of the fiercest voices in digital ethics. She’s on a mission to expose how data is being weaponised — and why we need to shut it down.

Roger McNamee

He helped fund Facebook. Now he’s one of its biggest critics. Roger is a Silicon Valley insider turned whistleblower, author of Zucked, and a fearless advocate for reining in Big Tech’s worst impulses.

Moderated by Carole Cadwalladr

She is a Pulitzer-nominated journalist and co-founder of the Citizens, a journalism and campaigning non-profit. She previously was a writer for The Guardian and The Observer, and can now be found on her Substack, How To Survive The Broligarchy.
