Privacy in the New Media Age Versus the First Amendment. Part II

Description

Futurist Hazel Henderson continues discussing with Professor Jon L. Mills his current book, Privacy in the New Media Age. The conversation focuses on the USA and how the Constitution favors free speech and press in the First Amendment over individual rights to privacy. Mills cites many examples of how individuals are harmed in today's social media, by false statements by bloggers, ubiquitous cameras in public places, tracking individuals' movements via their cellphones and GPS, data-collecting by government and by corporations selling users' personal data to advertisers, as well as snooping by drones. Again, these new technologies and media have outrun the law and public awareness and in some cases even dubious rulings by the Supreme Court.
