In this episode, Antajuan and Natasha explore the idea of sousveillance with Hasan Elahi, who began surveilling himself for the FBI after being erroneously labeled a terrorist. Plus, Shanmin Sultana talks with an artist and a social media influencer about what happens when they put their lives online.
