The Horrifying Surveillance Tech Coming to a Neighborhood Near You w/Dhruv Mehrotra

Jul 28

With every passing day, a new technology becomes available for police, prosecutors and the state to further side step the Fourth Amendment. On today’s show, Hunter sat down with Dhruv Mehrotra, staff writer for Wired Magazine, to discuss the latest horrifying surveillance tech coming to a jurisdiction near you. Covenant Eyes started out as a way for couples and churches to “help” people fight they perceived to be an addiction to porn, but from the very beginning the obvious potential for abuse was on full display. Join Hunter and Dhruv as they unpack the story of how an entire family came under surveillance of the state merely because of an allegation.
