Terry Gross Interview: Interpreting The Constitution In The Digital Era

Facts:
1. Rosens new book is a collection of essays that imagine new technological developments that stress constitutional laws.
2. None of the Amendments give us clear answers to basic problems we have today.
3. A problem that does not really have an answer is "Can a policeman put a tracking device on someones car and track them?". Many court judges have had mixed answers.
4. The problem I said above has the potential to the most important privacy case in the decade.
5. Brandice took a leap when deciding if wire tapping was a invasion of privacy.
6. You dont need a physical tresspass to create a unreasonable search.
7. Open planet is a system that would allow google and facebook to put on a live feed of people and what they did everyday 24/7.
8. The fourth amendment prohibits the government from unreasonable searches and seizures.
9. Facebook is not regulated by the Constitution so they could theoretically put on the Open planet system.
10. Germany has a greater concern for data collecting than the U.S does.

Questions:
1. How can we protect our privacy from Google and Facebook?
2. If the Constitution wanted, could they regulate Facebook?
3. Why is Europe so strict on privacy laws?
4. What do other countries, beside European ones, think about the open planet system?
5. What defines how much privacy we have and when it is invaded?
