New York’s 3D Printing Crackdown: Security or Surveillance? - Shared Security Podcast | Lyssna här

New York’s latest budget proposal could fundamentally change how 3D printers work—requiring built-in software that scans and blocks certain designs. Supporters say it’s about stopping ghost guns. Critics say it opens the door to surveillance and limits innovation.

In this episode, we discuss what’s actually in the proposal, why it’s raising alarms across the tech community, and what it could mean for the future of user-controlled technology.
