New York Attorney general candidate Richard Brodsky has released his privacy platform detailing what laws he believes need to be changed to fit with our changing technology and the internet.
The information age has forced us to revisit our right to privacy. Technology has been a force for change, both good and bad. It has connected people around the world and eased daily life while simultaneously created a potential “surveillance society.” New technology has resulted in vast networks of cameras on highways monitoring traffic, allowed online advertisers to monitor and mine a person’s detailed internet activity, and created law enforcement’s ability to “enter” a home remotely—by thermal heat detectors and other means.
