Resisting the Surveillance State and its network effects

Panel discussion with Jacob Appelbaum, Dmitry Kleiner:


They produce a continual stream of fantastic points about threats to online privacy posed by prevailing attitudes, the role of private profit in communication systems, and pervasive state surveillance.

The video is worth watching if for nothing else to witness Appelbaum's awesome smack-down of one audience member on the topic of market choice in social networks.

(Appelbaum is a Tor developer who has experienced repeated harassment and monitoring by US federal agents.)
