Freedom or the Status Quo: Congress’ Failure to Protect Our Privacy in the Digital Age
June 9th, 2015

Presented by: Kade Crockford

Technology moves much faster than the law, leaving all of us at risk of routine privacy and human rights violations. Learn about exactly what kinds of information government agencies are collecting without warrants, and the basic fixes to the law we need to ensure the possibility of privacy for the next generation.
