Sharon Weinberger : Initiative Inside the massive (and unregulated) world of surveillance tech

Sharon Weinberger·TED Salon: Brightline Initiative
Inside the massive (and unregulated) world of surveillance tech

Summary 

This was an important story to protect our country. 

The speaker asked us "What is a weapon in the Information Age?"

Armed drones are weapons and missiles and bombs are also weapons, but we have to know that it’s classified broad categories of technologies as weapons and it includes surveillance tools. Furthermore, it’s trading and governments want to sell more weapons abroad with fewer restrictions. It’s because they want to get not only money, it's expensive, but opponent information. However, our information is also sold. The speaker suggests to regulate and control their sale because it's really dangerous if a spy uses them. We must understand its danger more.
