SPLINTERNET 1: 大妈你观察 (Big Mama Is Watching You) - a podcast by Stephanie Bee

~Support Ephemera on Patreon~ https://www.patreon.com/ephemerapodcast ~Get in touch~ Ephemerathepodcast@gmail.com ~Additional links~ I took the name “splinternet” from Scott Malcolmson’s book of the same name. It’s very good and written for a lay audience; he tells the compelling human story of the history of the Internet and the attempts of sovereign states to excercise control over it. It’s published by the excellent O/R Books: https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/splinternet-by-scott-malcomson/ HIGH TECH, LOW LIFE is a remarkable documentary by Stephen Maing following 2 Chinese citizen journalists. You can rent it on iTunes, but if you speak Chinese, the star of the movie - a young blogger named Zola - has uploaded it to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0TOHB-Paug While I’m recommending movies, visual artist Lawrence Lek’s “Sinofuturism (1839 - 2046 AD)”, a “science fiction that already exists”, touches on the Chinese experience of the Internet. He uploaded it to Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/179509486 More on the JSON attack: https://www.securityweek.com/china-uses-watering-hole-attacks-jsonp-hijacking-identify-users
