What is a weapon in the Information Age? From microscopic "smart dust" tracking devices to DNA-tracing tech and advanced facial recognition software, journalist Sharon Weinberger leads a hair-raising tour through the global, unregulated bazaar of privatized mass surveillance. To rein in this growing, multibillion-dollar marketplace that often caters to customers with nefarious intents, Weinberger believes the first step is for governments to classify surveillance tools as dangerous and powerful weapons.

Everyone knows biden won’t let Snowden in.
Because he was mostly the reason Snowden had to take asylum in Russia.
Neither did trump.
Obama did turn a blind eye to what the bush era intelligence was doing. That’s just as wrong.
Snowden was a hero.
But people don’t take privacy seriously. They think it’s a luxury. No, it’s not. It’s a right.
TheZietgiest
@Terra Firma what did he leak that “went too far”?
Lauri
After 911 I remember my mom and discussing the Patriot ACT and the people on tv saying they had nothing to hide & would gladly would give up a little freedom to protect America from the terrorists. We should have protested then because HERE we are & it gets renewed every -what 4 years? I think Snowden is the true PATRIOT! The ones passing these bills are the criminals!!
TheZietgiest
@Lauri yea same, survival of the fittest.

So many sheep just don’t care, nothing to lose and no ambition.
Mr Flower
Saudi Arabia are abusing it really really bad killings innocent people and destroy their lives 😕💔💔

It is astounding how surveillance has evolved. We have a podcast coming out next Saturday about something similar, how wearables like Apple Watches provide corporations with 24 hour cycles of our own information. Very interesting and very scary.
Insights
I do hope you all enjoy! It is interesting that people voluntarily make so much of their personal information available online.
Sandra Nosocialism
@Insights it’s a losing battle. At this point I’m starting not to care.

@Insights they sneak the extent of it with the 30k+ word user agreements it would take an hour to read through one time and its legal speak so the average person wont be able to read it or understand it. the same time, you just blew $150 to$ 800 on w/e so either dont use it and bring it back or surrender yourself to texh

I hate the whole situation.
Much of this is being steered by the military industrial complex.
Preparing for war does not insure peace!
Spying on The People is nothing but WRONG and, in time, it will become obvious to all.
Laws will finally be implemented. I hope it won’t be too late.
Mr. Joy
@Dan oh they are crafting reams of “laws” right now. But what is a law if masses don’t accept them? The wizard has no power once the illusion curtain comes down.
Martin M.Vienna
@Mr. Joy i have made my own laws after i recogniced that they spy on me.
obsolete optics
Turns out that conspiracy theorists were right all along. Who knew?
Akshay Varma
But the earth is still donut shaped. Not flat, not round, but donut. Guys it’s obvious.
Using FOSS
No they aren’t. This is not a conspiracy done by a secret cabal of lizard people trying to control us :). This is people in government doing what they have been doing for ever. Whether they think it’s for their own good or it is to protect the majority. From that to the ridiculous conspiracy theories there is an ocean.
Dyson Talks
@Using FOSS it is still a conspiracy what they did

Conscious Dreaming
Indeed we were. Conspiracy FACTS.
I have never wished so hard to be wrong.☹

How fascinating how the all seeing eye, our own creation, that we use to self regulate our own behavior has evolved from being one of a belief system in our own heads, to one that is projected outwards into a literal “net”work out in the physical world
Beacon of Truth
Thank you for your part in making is all aware of these problems!
Major Old Lady aka, Mom
It also makes US all aware, 😅

Free Snowden, Assange and Manning!
Roger Lutrell
The world is truly too small now, it does make you want to hide but I can’t help but think of the type of person that would want to collect this data and the first thing that comes to mind is the wealthy who have the resources to keep the average person poor and uninformed. Thank you for public awareness.

So true👍🏼

Public Awareness is a facade.
Dany Babu Kollannoor
Its always good to know a wider perspective of something this big. Its a 12 minutes well spent.
Major Old Lady aka, Mom
Its is possessive.
It’s, however, is a contraction of the two words IT and IS, 😂
Dany Babu Kollannoor
@Major Old Lady aka, Mom alright mom.. i will take care of it next time.😅

Been tryna tell people for years! They just act like you’re crazy, while they hold a camera in their hands and snapchat every detail of their waking life.

What amazes me is how the public consciousness is only starting to wake up now, these technologies have been existing for many years.

“Sharing is caring” applies to this video too. Share this with friends and family, we need to protect our rights – the only way to realize we need to demand our privacy is through knowing that we don’t have any.
James Kulevich
I’ve got about 35 years of life left (barring an unforeseen accident) and I am sooooo out of here. It’s getting insane here.
Kim Breas
Thank you for your courage and clarity 🙏💛

“The more you know”, doubt that MSM will expose this new technology.
Jason LaCroix
It’s always the same daily routine. A few snippets about what is going on in Washington. A story about someone missing or murdered. The stock market report. Then a story about an animal rescue. It never varies much from that.
Melissa Haley
Now they know we watched this and that we know too much….🤪

Some of us don’t want to interfere with anyone else’s life or business. And, some of us make a career out of the exact opposite.
