At the Journal, she also led a team covering online privacy that was a finalist for a 2012 Pulitzer.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Dragnet Nation,<\/em> Angwin presents an unsettling look at how the government, private companies, and even criminals use technology to indiscriminately sweep up vast amounts of our personal data. She argues that the greatest long-term danger is that we start to internalize the surveillance and censor our words and thoughts, losing our freedom and individuality in the process. Appalled at this prospect, Angwin conducts a series of experiments to try to protect herself, ranging from quitting Google to carrying a \u2018burner\u2019 phone, showing how difficult it is for the average citizen to escape the reach of the dragnets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About this Lecture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are being watched\u2014by companies, by the government, by our neighbors. Technology has made powerful surveillance tools available to everyone. And now some of us are investing in counter-surveillance techniques and tactics. Julia Angwin discusses how much she has spent trying to protect her privacy, and raises the question of whether we want to live in a society where only the rich can buy their way out of ubiquitous surveillance.<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/new.livestream.com\/accounts\/4896157\/events\/3354896\/player?width=560&#038;height=315&#038;autoPlay=true&#038;mute=false\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p><strong>Featured Books<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/juliaangwin.com\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/935\/DRAGNET_NATION.png\" alt=\"Dragnet Nation\" width=\"100\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/juliaangwin.com\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/935\/STEALING_MYSPACE.jpg\" alt=\"Stealing Myspace\" width=\"100\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/juliaangwin.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Angwin\u2018s Website<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Includes links to privacy tools and information on her book, <\/em>Dragnet Nation; <a href=\"http:\/\/juliaangwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/DragnetNation-Chapter1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <em>Excerpt from the book<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/billmoyers.com\/episode\/no-escaping-dragnet-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No Escaping Dragnet Nation<\/a><br \/>\n<em>An interview with Bill Moyers about the book<\/em><br \/>\n14 March 2014<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/juliaangwin.com\/stanford-law-school-lecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stanford Law School Lecture<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Angwin speaks at the Stanford Law School about her book<\/em><br \/>\n06 May 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Is Privacy Becoming a Luxury Good?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":691,"featured_media":2454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2014-event"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/691"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2436"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6024,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436\/revisions\/6024"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/hc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
