Call Me Stormy

A Global Attack On Liberty

Glenn and Eric Meder rejoin the program to discuss the ongoing attack on liberty worldwide and how it is increasingly taking place through insidious means woven into our everyday lives. From expanding surveillance and digital tracking to the growing systems of technological control around us, we examine how convenience can quietly become a mechanism for monitoring and restricting individual freedom.

We also discuss an important distinction: Technology itself does not have to be limiting. It has enormous potential to increase human freedom, independence and opportunity—yet that is not the direction much of today’s technology is taking.

Glenn and Eric are the father-and-son team behind Privacy Academy, an organization inspired by liberty and designed to help the average, non-techy person understand the threats posed by surveillance and learn practical ways to preserve their privacy.

We discuss why privacy is about much more than hiding personal information, why it is fundamentally connected to liberty, and what ordinary people can do to regain greater control over their digital lives before the infrastructure of surveillance becomes even more deeply embedded in society.
