About this episode

Matt Kibbe discusses the need for updated privacy rights with guest Naomi Brockwell amidst government surveillance concerns.

As the U.S. Congress approves a short-term reauthorization of the FISA 702 surveillance program, it's more important than ever that Americans have a way to safeguard their constitutionally protected data from government spies. Matt Kibbe is joined by Naomi Brockwell, founder and president of the Ludlow Institute, to discuss the need for expanded privacy protections in the digital age. The Fourth Amendment was originally concerned with private papers and possessions, long before the internet existed, but the fact that communications are now digital should not mean that we lose the rights that the founders intended to give us. To that end, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act to rein in government spying and restore basic civil liberties to the American people.
