Spying on Democracy

Archival Summary & Scope

Edward Snowden's revelations unveiled the unprecedented scope of government and corporate surveillance. In *Spying on Democracy*, National Lawyers Guild Executive Director Heidi Boghosian meticulously documents this alarming expansion, exposing how technology monitors ordinary citizens through phone calls, emails, social media, purchases, and even physical movements via drones and biometrics. Boghosian argues this extensive data collection, often resold to intelligence agencies, gravely imperils individual privacy, civil liberties, and the democratic tools essential for a free society. This timely and accessible primer is crucial for anyone seeking to understand and safeguard constitutional freedoms in an era of pervasive digital oversight.
