Surveillance
is everywhere. China has 200 million cameras focused on its people, and with 50 million the
U.S. has more cameras per capita. Captured on video and via data
mining, our private lives are fodder for businesses and governments without our
consent or notification. One big component of this is the Patriot Act, which
allowed the National Security Agency to gather and store phone calls, emails,
and text messages of U.S. citizens, even gaining access to your own camera.
Now people in Detroit and elsewhere are fighting back. In the March issue of Sojourners,
Bill Wylie-Kellermann describes how activists are protesting the use of technology
without consent, public notice, or accountability. To find out more, read “Every
