Robert Scheer Talks Privacy With Scholar Aleecia McDonald
The Peninsula Peace and Justice Center hosted Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and scholar Aleecia McDonald, a nonresident fellow at Stanford’s Center for Internet and Society, in a public conversation about the themes at the center of Scheer’s new book, “They Know Everything About You, How Data-Collecting Corporations and Snooping Government Agencies Are Destroying Democracy.”
The conversation took place in Palo Alto, Calif., on March 20 and was hosted by Paul George, a “grass-roots peace and human rights organizer and activist” who has served as director of Peninsula Peace and Justice for 25 years.
