Ladar Levison discusses his run-in with US government
One year ago today, Journalist, Glenn Greenwald published the first of many revelations about the NSA's dragnet program. A program, that secretly gathered tons of data about the communication activity of ordinary American citizens.
Behind the whistleblowing was Edward Snowden. Snowden used an encrypted email service called, "Lavabit."
Its owner, Ladar Levison, recently wrote in The Guardian newspaper, about how the federal government bullied him into installing surveillance equipment on his servers. We sat down to talk with Ladar about his experiences and to get his views on government surveillance in our lives.

The standoff between President Donald Trump and Twitter escalated yet again when the social media giant flagged a tweet regarding civil unrest. This comes just one day after he signed an executive order against social media companies. All of the above is reflected in the stock prices for Twitter, Facebook, and Google. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 outbreak has slammed a number of sectors, especially the music industry, which thrives on live performances. Numerous music festivals, concerts and award shows have been canceled and several album releases have been postponed. While we may focus on the big picture of national artists being hurt by the pandemic, smaller independent and local musicians are taking a hit, unable to play live shows at local bars, clubs and theaters.

French President Francois Hollande is holding an emergency meeting of his country’s defense council after newly published documents reveal American agents had spied on him and his two predecessors. According to the documents, released by Wikileaks between 2006 and 2012, the National Security Agency spied on the three French presidents by listening in on their work and personal phone calls.
