Lever Time Premium

The birth of the internet foreshadowed the death of privacy. Everything we do online is easy to track — and data brokers have turned plundering that information into an industry. As we explored in a recent episode of Lever Time, there are even laws empowering the FBI to buy Americans’ location data from these scavengers without a warrant. So is there any hope for our privacy online?

In this exclusive bonus episode of Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to check on the status of your digital privacy. They discuss whether personal privacy is still possible, how artificial intelligence is making matters worse, and what everyone needs to do to fight back.
