Trevor Tim (Trevor Timm): Koliko je slobodna naša sloboda štampe?

Koliko je slobodna naša sloboda štampe?

Štampa ima prvim amandmanom zagarantovano pravo da objavljuje tajne informacije koje javnost mora da zna. Međutim, danas se uzbunjivači suočavaju sa progonom i malo gde mogu da se skriju. U ovom sažetom, informativnom govoru, saosnivač Slobode štampe i učesnik TED fellows programa, Trevor Tim, obrađuje skorašnju istoriju nadzora koju vrši američka vlada i zalaže se za tehnologiju koja može pomoći pojedincima da bezbedno i anonimno razotkrivaju kriminal i nepravdu.

The right to publish secret information in the public interest is protected by the First Amendment, yet government surveillance puts whistleblowers and journalists at risk. After exposing both illegal wiretapping and a failed CIA operation, one reporter faced years under threat of prison while prosecutors secretly seized his digital records. Since 9/11, nearly every significant national security story has come from whistleblowers, but increased spying undermines their ability to safely share vital information. New technologies offer hope, allowing sources to stay anonymous and the press to defend its essential role.
