Episode 195 - Protecting Yourself In A Surveillance State

When talking about defending ourselves It's important to start with this concept: A surveillance state rarely needs to hack you. Instead, It relies on lawful interception, compelled disclosure, bulk metadata collection, commercial data brokers, and correlation across systems. In this Deep Dive, we discuss in-depth how to best defend yourself from the prying eyes of a government. This is beyond important. We also cover so much more and you do not want to miss this episode.
