Thanks to Edward Snowden, our country is having its first real debate about the vast and growing surveillance state erected in the shadows of 9/11. But it isn't just the NSA. Increasingly, our state and local police departments are also collecting enormous amounts of data about every single one of us: where we go, what we buy, who we talk to and when, how we use the internet -- often without warrants or any judicial oversight. And anytime you follow the money -- whether at the state and local or federal level -- you'll find thousands of increasingly powerful if largely unknown corporations that are profiting off of our information. Can democracy survive in a surveillance society? If not, what can we do about it?
Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty initiative at the ACLU of Massachusetts will address these issues and tell you how you can get involved to stop warrantless surveillance in the Commonwealth and nationwide.
Kade blogs at privacysos.org/blog and has written for The Nation, The Guardian, TruthOut, and the Boston Globe.
