Glenn and Eric Meder are the father-son duo behind Privacy Academy, which provides online learning and membership services centered around exiting the surveillance state, maintaining online privacy, and ensuring Big Brother and Big Tech do not succeed in weaponizing our digital existence against us.

In this conversation with Glenn and Eric we discuss:

  • The State of the (Surveillance) State
  • How AI is accelerating the problem
  • The Big Three Threats
  • How COVID was a wake-up call
  • CBDC, facial recognition software, social credit score system
  • Why VPN is not a silver bullet
  • Simple ways each individual can protect themselves
