VIDEO: @OTI Briefing on the Technological Impact of NSA #Surveillance #NSAreform

On November 15, 2013 the Open Technology Institute hosted a Briefing on the Technological Impact of NSA Surveillance on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. The briefing provided insight into how the technology and regulatory environment has led to the current situation and the ramifications of that surveillance on society and governance overall, while also considering the challenges confronting the Obama Administration’s external Review Group. Beyond the well-known issues over civil rights, this will be an important presentation on the technological implications of surveillance, and the dangers policy makers need to consider as they look to reform the government’s practices. Speakers: Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose, Calif.) – Member, House Judiciary Committee & Member, House Committee on Science, Space and Technology; Sascha Meinrath – Director, Open Technology Institute and Vice President, New America Foundation, and Bruce Schneier, Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard & Author, Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Trust Society Needs to Survive.
