In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explored how state-sponsored influence operations intersect with the exploitative outsourcing of digital labor—such as social media content moderation, data labeling, and click-work—to low-wage workers in poor conditions across Africa between 2015 and 2025. The analysis draws on insights from academic research, investigative journalism, policy studies, and intelligence reports.
