Facial recognition is entering grocery stores, smart TVs are tracking what you watch, and law enforcement collects large amounts of cell phone data without warrants. How are companies and governments gather information about you? Are existing laws — especially the Fourth Amendment — equipped for the digital age? Is your info really yours? Do we need a digital rights amendment to the Constitution? Dan explains how resenting the loss of privacy is the real danger, and how a guilty conscience creates a fear of being "found out." He also tells a story about being spied on by the mafia inside his Wall Street office. Dan Jr. discusses the Trump admin's "freedom.gov" and how it could strengthen U.S. interests abroad. Plus, Dan's voice is healing after surgery! Ep. 0053
