Naomi Brockwell on the Surveillance Accountability Act, Developer Arrests, and Why You Can't Opt Out

The federal government doesn't need a warrant to buy your location data, your financial records, or your private information from data brokers. The Surveillance Accountability Act wants to change that. In this Techlore Talks interview, Henry sits down with Naomi Brockwell, host of NBTV and president/founder of The Ludlow Institute. They discuss the bill, Naomi's three-pillar approach to fighting the surveillance state, why decentralization doesn't automatically provide privacy, and what you can actually do right now.
