Ep. 665: Cyrus Farivar Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Cyrus Farivar, a Senior Tech Policy Reporter at Ars Technica, radio producer and author of "Habeas Data: Privacy vs. the Rise of Surveillance Tech." Cyrus sees the privacy battle as an ever winding, never-ending road. Privacy is hard, national security is hard, law enforcement is hard but Cyrus is optimistic we can strike a good balance between all three.

The topic is his book Habeas Data: Privacy vs. the Rise of Surveillance Tech.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Privacy by design
• Facial recognition
• Capturing phone meta data
• Unreasonable search and seizure
• Apple's security technology
• Radical transparency vs. total privacy
• NSA
• Edward Snowden
• Google Maps
