Episode 09 - "Nothing Left to Hide"

The relationship between government intelligence, the military-industrial complex, and big business goes deep. In technology hubs around the world, complex surveillance products are developed and sold to governments that deploy the tech on journalists, lawyers, academics, and their own citizens. How are these technologies spreading and what effects do they have on society and us as individuals?

Join us this week as we explore one of the most heavily surveilled places on earth and ask ourselves how to respond as these technologies increasingly come home to be deployed right here in America.
