The Munk Debate on the Surveillance State
Paperback
Publication Date: 08/11/2014
Does government surveillance make us safer? The thirteenth Munk Debate, held in Toronto on Friday, May 2, 2014, pitted Michael Hayden and Alan Dershowitz against Glenn Greenwald and Alexis Ohanian to debate whether state surveillance is a legitimate defense of our freedom. In a risk-filled world, democracies are increasingly turning to large-scale state surveillance, at home and abroad, to fight complex and unconventional threats but is it justified? For some, the threats justify the current surveillance system, and the laws and institutions of democracies are capable of balancing the needs of individual privacy with collective security. But for others, we're in peril of sacrificing to a vast and unaccountable state surveillance apparatus the civil liberties that guarantee citizens basic freedoms and our democratic way of life.
