Meredith Whittaker has spent years arguing that privacy is a
prerequisite for a free society.

As the president of the nonprofit foundation behind the encrypted
messaging app Signal, she now finds herself defending that
principle in the face of mounting pressure from governments and
tech companies alike.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain, Whittaker says she
believes business models that rely on data collection, the rise
of artificial intelligence assistants and even well-meaning
efforts to protect children online risk undermining private
communication. She also explains why Signal would rather
leave a market than weaken the product’s encryption.
