This is Part 2 of a two-part series.

In Part 1, I asked you to picture a logjam building on our river of liberty.

In this video, I zoom in.

These “logs” aren’t abstract ideas. They’re real systems already in place — surveillance laws, data collection, facial recognition, AI, and the ways that information is being used to shape outcomes in our daily lives.

Some people are trying to manage this.

Others are blocking those efforts.

And that’s where the real problem begins.
