We talk about how the technologies work and what they mean for enforcement and civil liberties.
Guests:
Rachel Levinson-Waldman, director of Liberty and National Security Program, Brennan Center for Justice
Sheera Frenkel, technology reporter, The New York Times; co-author, "An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination"
