EP. 12.2 | Digital Surveillance and Protest Tips
In this powerful episode of When the Shift Hits, we dive into the growing threat of digital surveillance in 2025—and what it means for protestors, activists, and everyday Americans. With the U.S. government deepening its partnership with Palantir Technologies, data from DMV records, IRS filings, utility accounts, social media, and even biometrictracking are being centralized into one massive surveillance system—justified under the guise of national security. But what does this mean for your right to protest, to dissent, and to simply be?
We break down how this technology is used in real time to monitor protests, the racial disparities baked into facial recognition, and the post-protest consequences no one is talking about. Plus, I share practical tools to help you protect your digital presence—from turning off location tracking to using encrypted apps and knowing your rights. This is not about fear—it’s about strategy. You are powerful, but only if you stay protected.
