The Social Breakdown

SOC119 - Mom is the Panopticon: Modern Day Surveillance


Listen Later

Triggered by the U.S. congress reauthorizing section 702 of the FISA act, our conversation this week focuses on privacy and surveillance. With the internet, social media, and all of our new technology, do we have privacy anymore? We start the episode off talking about the classic sociological concept of Jeremy Bentham’s ‘Panopticon’.

Tune in to hear how everyone is watching you!
