This Weekly Digest of posts from the Workers' Edge blog highlights the dangers posed by unfettered surveillance activities conducted by law enforcement and agencies at the local, state, and federal level. Topic include the return of the general warrant for phone searches, the dismantling of the 'fruit of the poisonous tree' doctrine, and whether police and other government offices can claim "ownership" of the videos and other private data they collect.
Also discussed are government and corporate control of the internet, the continuing erosion of government privacy protections, and the meaninglessness of "personal jurisdiction" in an internet-connected world.
