Busted: Postal Service's "Covert Operations Program" Surveils US Social Media Users
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Chris Garaffa, editor of Tech for the People for another edition of our weekly segment “Tech For The People.” They discuss the recent passing of influential information security researcher Dan Kaminsky, the revelation that the US Postal Service has been quietly running a “covert operations program” aimed at monitoring Americans’ social media activity, and a study which found the “remarkable quantity” of personally identifiable information available on accused and convicted people on government websites constitute a form of “digital punishment.”
