Moyers & Company. Big Brother's Prying Eyes

Description

Big Brother is bigger and less brotherly than we thought. What does such intrusiveness mean to our sense of privacy and to our cherished principles of democracy? In this edition of Moyers & Company, Lawrence Lessig-director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University and founder of Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society-joins Bill to examine the implications of governmental spying on phone calls and Internet activity and to discuss Edward Snowden's role in leaking information about it. In addition, Lessig decries a pervasive "dependence corruption" in our government and politics and outlines a radical approach to the problem that uses Big Money itself to reform Big Money-powered corruption.
