Talking MEWShop: Episode 21 with OWC Founder & CEO Larry O'Connor

This is the third and final instalment in the ODPA’s podcast series, Data, Democracy and Freedom.  The series examines:

•	How people’s information can be weaponized to undermine elections and democracy
•	How to preserve civil liberties and strike the right balance between national security/program delivery and upholding privacy rights
•	How technology may be influencing our freedom of thought and expression

In this podcast, ODPA Commissioner Brent Homan talks to human rights lawyer and author Susie Alegre. They explore tech-driven threats to our mental freedom - how algorithms feed off our personal data and filter content which end up shaping our everyday thoughts and choices from what we eat to how we vote.

Susie Alegre is a legal pioneer in digital human rights, in particular the impact of AI on the human rights of freedom of thought and opinion.  

She founded the Isle of Man’s Island Rights Initiative, has an MA Hons in French and Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, a Masters in European and International Human Rights Law from the University of Nantes and a PhD in International Human Rights Law from the University of Roehampton. 

Susie is a Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance and Innovation (CIGI) and is fluent in French and Spanish. Susie has worked with many NGOs including Amnesty International and international organisations including the UN, the EU and the Council of Europe.  

Her first book ‘Freedom to Think’ won Financial Times Technology Book of the Year 2022 and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland Prize 2023.  She has recently published a second book ‘Human Rights, Robot Wrongs: Being Human in the Age of AI’.

Data, Democracy & Freedom with Susie Alegre

Guernsey student Madelaine Russell was the 2024 beneficiary of a prestigious bursary which has transported her to the other side of the world and changed her horizons. Each year, just one sixth form student from the Bailiwick is eligible for a fully funded place at Brock University in Ontario as part of the historic links between Canada and Guernsey.

In this ODPA podcast, the political science student sits down for a conversation with Bailiwick Data Protection Commissioner Brent Homan – who just so happens to hail from Canada. They discuss life in a cold climate, how her interest in public outreach and human rights led to her becoming the first successful applicant of the ODPA’s new intern programme and their common love of sports.

This podcast is part of the Office of the Data Protection Authority’s social initiative which aims to harness the power of shared experiences and stories to encourage ethical data use and engage people on a cultural level.

It is people, not laws, that drive privacy. What about privacy makes it universal across the world and throughout history? How did the Ancient Romans solve the timeless privacy problems around maintaining and verifying identity? What can cinema reveal about privacy in Indian culture? How is privacy viewed in indigenous communities and how has their data been misused? 

This podcast series, Privacy across Time and Space, was inspired by a panel discussion at the Venice Privacy Symposium in May 2025. In it we hear from global privacy leaders Alexander White, Queensland's new Privacy Commissione; Alexandra Delaney-Bhattacharya, Isle of Man Information Commissioner and Shana Morgan, Global Head of AI, L3Harris Tech; as they share inspiring stories of privacy as both an inalienable right and a practical solution that transcends global, political, and socio-economic boundaries.

In this podcast, storyteller Shana Morgan discusses the historic underpinnings of indigenous data privacy and how it is uniquely viewed within indigenous communities and their collective-focused society.
