O pesquisador de privacidade Christopher Soghoian vê o panorama da vigilância governamental mudar nas nossas costas, enquanto cresce uma indústria de apoio a programas de fiscalização. Afirma que, através de empresas privadas, os governos conseguem comprar tecnologia com capacidade de invadir computadores, roubar documentos e fiscalizar atividades — sem serem detetados. Este TED Fellow dá uma visão perturbadora do futuro.

Vigilância governamental - Isto é apenas o inicio

As surveillance technology advances, governments worldwide can now hack into computers, activate webcams and microphones, and extract data—often without detection. After the Arab Spring, authoritarian regimes sought out Western-made tools to monitor activists and journalists, sometimes using free demos to spy on citizens. The global surveillance industry, worth billions, equips both democracies and dictatorships with powerful hacking capabilities. With no dedicated laws or public debate in places like the United States, the potential for abuse grows unchecked.
