Understanding Privacy in the Digital Age - Full Episode

The idea of “privacy” has undergone significant changes in the digital age, as has the idea of privacy “harm.” Legislation, both at home and abroad, hasn’t kept pace with technological developments, leaving some wondering if privacy as we know it is long dead.

This episode first aired in January 2015.

David Strathairn is a great choice as narrator. His voice lends an intimate yet authorative credence to any topic about which he's speaking.

People cannot be trusted. Treat them all as evil.

It is in my opinion biased propaganda aimed on us liberals and intellectuals, because of inducing the viewer to decide whether snowden is a whistleblower or a traitor, angling the word whistleblower as positive counterweight in a sympathy based "good or bad decision" . Additionally, with a final "resume comment" calling him "both things". In an unbiased depiction of this subject, the role of snowden as an digital-civil-rights defender, had have been brought into consideration, too. Furthermore subjects seem to be initially fairly and revealingly treated as to over-intensified US intelligence strategies, only to be concluded shortly later by the interviewed, stating:"other NATO partners spied too on each other" ... "and its an old tradition"

They lost money & contracts because of those disclosures? 8:46 If they weren't incorporating spying measures for the NSA in their software & hardware there would be nothing shady to disclose and in turn, no deals lost. Put the blame where it belongs.
