Surveillance
Surveillance is a growing concern in a connected world. Learn how monitoring works, what it means for privacy and how to protect your personal information.
Surveillance is the monitoring of people's activities, communications and movements. It spans the digital and the physical. Online activity, location data from phones, purchasing habits and cameras in public and private spaces all generate information about you. Much of that collection is routine, gathered by companies and services in the ordinary course of business.
Surveillance matters to any family that wants to keep personal information in the hands of the people it belongs to. People view the subject through very different values. We set the debates aside and focus on the part that touches daily life: understanding how information about you is gathered and choosing deliberately what you share. Preppers meet it like any other feature of the modern world, with awareness and practical action rather than fear or resignation.
