Talking About Surveillance (+/-) Security

Wikimedia

People used to crack jokes about their phones being tapped. 

It's less of a joke than it used to be, given the knowledge of how extensive the federal government's surveillance apparatus is.  Does the government pick up as much information as we give freely through social media and smartphone app choices? 

Kristian Williams answers that question and others in an Oregon Humanities Conversation Project on "Keeping Tabs on America: Surveillance and You."  It's coming to libraries in Jackson and Klamath Counties, Kristian Williams give us a preview.
