Hey everyone! Check out these short documentaries and news stories related to communication and surveillance in the larger world. This first video (<------ Link to video here) comes from the BBC where a journalist goes to Guiyang, China to experience one of the worlds most sophisticated surveillance systems. Would you trust people in your government to have this level of power?
Next please watch the following documentary from VICE news about what other abilities governments all over the world have to spy on ordinary citizens like ourselves. In what ways do governments around the world use these technologies? How do they make you feel?
And lastly, if you would like to delve deeper into this topic please watch the following segment from John Oliver's HBO political satire and news show Last Week Tonight. This segment comes from April of 2015 so things may have changed since then.
