Surveillance State
Details
From NSA mass data collection to facial recognition in public spaces, surveillance has become embedded in everyday life. The line between protecting national security and preserving individual privacy grows increasingly thin.
This discussion examines the consequences of living under constant watch—how surveillance impacts our rights, shapes behavior, and alters the balance of power in a democracy. We’ll also consider recent developments following Trump’s reelection, including expanded domestic surveillance programs, increased collaboration between federal agencies and tech companies, and renewed crackdowns on encryption and whistleblowers.
As surveillance grows more sophisticated, we ask: what are we giving up in the name of security—and is it worth it?
