The Future of Privacy and Transparency: Surveillance in a Digital Age; moderated by Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, professor of law at The George Washington University and the legal affairs editor of The New Republic
Does the widespread availability of personal data justify the government’s need for covert surveillance or does it make secrecy obsolete and unnecessary? Recent disclosures by Snowden, Manning, and WikiLeaks have redefined the debate about the proper balance between privacy and transparency. In this seminar, we will have a wide ranging discussion about where to draw the line.
