New technologies are radically advancing our freedoms, but they are also enabling unparalleled invasions of privacy. National and international laws have yet to catch up with the evolving need for privacy that comes with new digital technologies. Respect for individuals' autonomy, anonymous speech, and the right to free association must be balanced against legitimate concerns like law enforcement.
Today: a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves. A search for meaning in life. As such, it is a universal human experience—something that touches us all.
There is something we all have, but are we aware of it? It makes us do what we do, it influences all of our behavior. It can make us feel at home, or out of place. Todays episode is all about identity. Welcome to the Controverse.
