http://www.democracynow.org - Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin joins us to discuss her new book, "Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance." Currently at ProPublica and previously with the Wall Street Journal, Angwin details her complex and fraught path towards increasing her own online privacy. According to Angwin, the private data collected by East Germany's Soviet-era Stasi secret police could pale in comparison to the information revealed today by an individual's Facebook profile or Google search.
