About this listen

Chatbots that let you speak to dead relatives long after they're gone, digital graveyards on Facebook, Virtual Reality 'ghosts' and apps promising an eternal afterlife for your data. No, this isn't an episode of Black Mirror, but each of these are being made possible by the Digital Afterlife Industry. Moral I.T welcomes Dr Carl Öhman from the Oxford Internet Institute  to talk about the ethical problems in this industry with digital remains and posthumous consent. His answer? We should look to museums to keep our digital corpses safe from commercial exploitation.
