The Surveillance Industrial Complex. America’s Surveillance State—Part 4

Description

Though the internet was created by a defense agency, it was embraced by the public as a tool for global communication. This video explains how, using a carrot-and-stick approach, the National Security Agency developed alliances with big tech companies to gain access to their customers' data. FISA court orders, top-secret information, and lucrative contracts lured corporations in, but public reaction in the wake of the Snowden revelations has caused companies to realize the risks of collusion. Faced with angry customers around the world, U.S. tech companies have walked a line between reassuring customers that they are fighting to protect data from the government while still collecting data themselves.
