Neil Richards on Why Privacy Matters

(12/20/21) Everywhere we look, corporations and governments are spying on us—seeking personal information about who we are and whom we know. Ad networks monitor our web-surfing to send us "more relevant" ads. The NSA screens our communications for signs of radicalism. Schools track students' emails to stop school shootings. Cameras guard every street corner and traffic light and drones fly in our skies. In his new book Privacy Matters, Neil Richards asserts that privacy isn't dead, but rather up for grabs. Join us for a discussion of how we can preserve our right to confidentiality in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
