erms and Conditions May Apply, CitizenFour

You are required to write a 5-7 page (double-spaced) analysis of the Terms and Conditions May Apply, CitizenFour, and The Great Hack. All films are widely available on Netflix, Vimeo, YouTube, and other sources; please contact me if you are unable to access any of the films. Your analysis should NOT be a summary of the films; your analysis should focus on the socio-political themes about privacy and mass surveillance that are revealed by these films. Keep in mind that there is a timeline to these films that is important; we knew much less about mass government surveillance at the time that Terms and Conditions was made, and those filmmakers could only hint at the extent of mass government surveillance that was revealed by Edward Snowden a few years later. Also keep in mind that good reviews will identify and discuss themes that extend across all three films, not discuss each film independently. Some questions that you could consider answering based on what the films show are: Why should be care about privacy? If I have nothing to hide, do I have anything to fear? What’s wrong with trading my privacy for some personalized ad content? What is the future of privacy in the context of surveillance capitalism? You are highly encouraged to make reference to the assigned reading material of the course in your analysis.
