Movies can play a big role in shaping people’s perceptions of important topics, such as the protection of personal data. In this podcast, Who is the bad guy? The role of movies in the social construction of data protection, Megan explores how movies on data privacy shape perceptions and how this impacts individuals’ security. Multiple aspects are addressed, such as the development from depicting state institutions to social media companies as the misusers of data in movies; the impact of movies exposing democratic states as misusers of data, and the illustration, and potentially even the romanticization of whistleblowers in movies.

Listen to a wide range of experts in the field of data protection share their knowledge on the present layout of the data protection field and its representation in movie theatres. Tune in and learn more about the dangers and opportunities of shaping the social construction of data protection through movies!
