Live Blog: Noam Chomsky, Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden Discuss Privacy
Maintaining privacy in the age of surveillance is a global challenge. (Digitale Gesellschaft / CC BY-SA 2.0)
What is the proper balance between national security and individual rights? That question has been on the minds of many people since 9/11 and the passing of the Patriot Act.
With the rise of government surveillance and growing concerns about maintaining personal privacy (see: Apple v. FBI), the debate isn’t quieting down.
On Friday at the University of Arizona, political activist and MIT professor Noam Chomsky, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, and Intercept co-founding editor Glenn Greenwald will discuss the subject of privacy (https://web.sbs.arizona.edu/privacy) in a panel organized by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). Nuala O’Connor, president and CEO of CDT, will moderate.
The event starts at 5 p.m. PT and will be live streamed on The Intercept.
We will be live-blogging the conversation on Truthdig.
