DETAILS

Overview

The proliferation of intrusive new technologies is putting many of our presumed freedoms in legal limbo. Today, it’s easy to think that we have far more privacy and other personal rights than we in fact do. Only by educating ourselves about the current state of the law and the risks posed by our own inventions can we develop an informed opinion about where to draw hard lines, how to promote changes in the system, and what we can do to protect ourselves. In Privacy, Property, and Free Speech: Law and the Constitution in the 21st Century, Professor Jeffrey Rosen delivers 24 eye-opening lectures that immerse you in the Constitution, the courts, and the post√9/11 Internet era that the designers of our legal system could scarcely have imagined

fascinating & of great concern
this course greatly expended what i thought i knew in the area of privacy, & often provided disturbing evidence of government overreach. Prof Rosen did an excellent job of presenting & explaining a most relevant & important subject.
