Surveillance State & Right to Privacy
The 2026 legislative session is starting off quickly, as we already have basic human rights up for discussion.
Episode Notes
2026 is off, and the Delaware legislature is also just getting started. This episode covers some general state news and a few New Castle County soundbites, but everything connects back to a proposed constitutional amendment for a basic right to privacy. In a world hellbent on surveilling us, inspecting our lives and our bodies, and making images of us -- all without our consent -- what can our legislature due to slow the tide? (Content warning in the last five minutes for mention of the word "p*rn," just in case you listen while your kids are around.)
