Existential Crisis: FCC Power Grab + Digital ID Requirement Stopped

We’ve got quite an interesting show for viewers today — focused on the topics of radio frequency and digital surveillance. See below for summaries of each segment.

1. Is this the worst electromagnetic threat we’ve faced thus far? Join Michael Kane, Odette Wilkens and Sidnee Cox as they discuss a piece of legislation and an FCC ruling circulating in D.C. pertaining to wireless infrastructure. This “two-prong attack” has the potential to strong-arm local governments and is a call to action for communities across the nation.

2. Many legal and regulatory actions are being undertaken to protect privacy and wellbeing — in relation to the expansion of technology. For the Bottoms, this meant securing a digital-ID exemption in order for their son to continue playing NFL Flag Football without being forced to use a biometric tracking system. Andrew McAfee, on the other hand, is working to strengthen protections for scientific research and electrically-sensitive residents living in West Virginia’s National Radio Quiet Zone.
