Federalist Society Event Audio show

Summary: This roundtable will address a wide range of issues and potential solutions to the challenges associated with balancing privacy and security in an increasingly technological world. In an era where individuals increasingly entrust their data to third parties, how can the right balance be struck between the government’s need to collect information, and the individual’s right to privacy in that information. Does the Fourth Amendment adequately protect an individual’s rights in an era of rapidly advancing technology, or should Congress play a more active role in regulating this space? -- The University of Florida Student Chapter hosted this roundtable discussion during the 2014 Annual Student Symposium on Friday, March 7, 2014.
