IS it possible to summarize for those of us who don't have an hour?

It's USA-centric, but I suppose it could apply to your government as well. He talks about how we give up our privacy so willingly with online living, facebook and such, and through the use of smart phones and other devices that we just readily accept. He talks about Google, their data centers, and what the company is really about (they're data merchants, basically), and how their data centers aren't anywhere near the size and capacity of the CIA's and NSA's data centers. He talks about a game made by Niantic Labs, Pokemon Go, how it was commissioned by the NSA and how easy it would be to use that to track people, and probably is, given that it was commissioned by the government. He also talks about different laws in the US related to spying on our own citizens, about FISA warrants and courts and how they really work, etc etc etc...

Most people would say this is tinfoil hat stuff, but he's not making anything up. These are all facts that no one ever bothers to look into for themselves.
