Synopsis

From Google Maps to cell phones that track your daily activity, new technologies are putting unprecedented stress on America's protections. Consequently, many of the privacy and personal rights we think we possess may not actually have a legal basis. Get educated about the risks posed by intrusive new technologies in the 24 eye-opening lectures of Privacy, Property, and Free Speech from Professor Jeffrey Rosen of The George Washington University Law School. An award-winning legal scholar and Supreme Court journalist, he immerses you in the Constitution, the courts, and the new reality of our liberties. Since our personal rights are increasingly threatened by corporations not ruled by restrictions on government, this course examines how companies get data about you and how they use it. Professor Rosen offers a wide range of tips on what you can do to protect yourself in today's intrusive society, whether online, at airports, or if you are ever stopped by the police for any reason. An often-heard defense for the erosion of our liberties is that law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear. After taking Privacy, Property, and Free Speech, you'll have a more informed opinion about whether modern life gives even the most innocent among us reason to worry.
