You might already use your fingerprint to unlock your phone...but what other private information would you share to make your life more convenient?

In Sweden, thousands of people are microchipping themselves voluntarily. In China, facial recognition is used so that shoppers can avoid the cash register. And in the United States of America, students give plasma to pay for their books, while Silicon valley vampire oligarchs are infusing themselves with the blood of teenagers.

In this episode, our hosts Hélène Faussart and Iota Vanne discuss the latest headlines coming out of the tech industry, and why there is is no such thing as privacy… even when it comes to your DNA. We also talk about Halloween in America, cultural appropriation, and if whiteface is a thing.
