Show Topic: Who's in Charge of the Internet? Privacy, GeoPolitics & the Big Chill

Guest: Vivek Krishnamurthy, Esq., 

Discussion on how the Internet is affected by policies of individual nations - geopolitics - how some nations' laws define "privacy" - and how these laws effect what can be seen and found on the Internet across the globe.

Issues include free speech, the right to be forgotten, search and seizure of digital "evidence," and what new revelations may have in store for the "free and open" internet. If you are located in the US and think your data is too - then think again. Discussion on how warrants are served - search and seizure - when the data to be retrieved is stored 'outside' the United States. This program is a must see for anyone with interest in Cross-Border Free Speech and Internet Freedoms as well as Uncensored Speech.
