#96 Les algorithmes contre la société avec Hubert Guillaud

In this episode, we take you to the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro, where a U.S.-based client retained Privin Network to investigate a partner's unexpected behavior during an overseas trip. With red flags raised and communication disrupted, our team deployed discreet surveillance tailored to a foreign environment.

🌴 From beachfront observations to nightlife monitoring, our investigators documented behaviors that confirmed the client’s suspicions — all while navigating the legal and cultural landscape of Brazil.

Privin Network remains the trusted agency for complex international infidelity investigations — where truth has no borders.

Infidelity Investigation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This event was the launch of Seçkin Sertdemir's latest book 'Civic Death in Contemporary Turkey: Mass Surveillance and the Authoritarian State' published by Cambridge University Press. 

What does it mean for a government to declare its citizens 'dead' while they still live? Following the failed 2016 coup, the Turkish AKP government implemented sweeping powers against some 152,000 of its citizens. These Kanun hükmünde kararnameli ('emergency decreed') were dismissed from their positions and banned for life from public service. With their citizenship rights revoked, Seçkin Sertdemir argues these individuals were rendered into a state of 'civic death'. This study considers how these authoritarian securitisation methods took shape, shedding light on the lived experiences of targeted people.
