Doc Thompson will address the many ways technology is allowing our government to access information on our professional and personal lives. He will also discuss the recent attempt by the White House to quell our growing concern about the over-reach of the NSA and its associated intelligence-gathering practices. The White House is advocating that the data be kept by a third-party and raise the level of judicial approval necessary to access those records. But will any of this matter?
Learn how the NSA deflects criticism of their collection activities with the defense that it does not keep the "content" of our electronic communications, just the metadata, which the agency claims does not provide a great deal of personal information. This session will show why that statement is questionable. Learn what is included in the Metadata and how it can be used to assimilate information about the sender and recipient(s).
