[liberationtech] course on surveillance and privacy

[Michael Dahan]

Hi,

I teach a similar course - haven't had issues with access or academic
freedom. My biggest challenge has been convincing the students of the
importance of privacy. I finally resorted to pulling up stuff on students
from social media as well as demonstrating in class vulnerability of
Bluetooth on their cell phones... Making it personal brings the point
home...
