“Shh! Google is listening,” your mom points at her Alexa. You roll your eyes, but you know there’s some truth to it. Your data is being tracked. The question is, where’s it going, what are they doing with it, and how are they getting it? Liberty and Scott are investigating just how dangerous the data economy really is and if people truly need to be worried. They look for answers from MIT professor and former scientist at Facebook Dean Eckles, and New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roose to find the truth behind data privacy and how we can protect ourselves.
