Glenn Greenwald on Why You Should Care About Privacy, Even If You Think You Have Nothing to Hide: VIDEO

Kyler Geoffroy October 11, 2014

Greenwald

Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who broke the NSA Edward Snowden story last year, explains in a new TED talk video why we should all be concerned about privacy – even if you're "not doing anything you need to hide." 

"A society in which people can be monitored at all times is a society that breeds conformity and obedience and submission, which is why every tyrant – the most overt to the most subtle – craves that system. Conversely even more importantly, it is a realm of privacy, the ability to go somewhere where we can think and reason and interact and speak without the judgemental eyes of others being cast upon us in which creativity and exploration and dissent exclusively reside. And that is why when we allow a society to exist in which we are subject to constant monitoring, we allow the essence of human freedom to be severely crippled."

Watch the talk, AFTER THE JUMP…
