My dad always used to complain that he was being followed, and I never used to believe him. Honestly, I thought he was paranoid and a little crazy.

But then, one day, I saw it; a man following and recording us. It was unmistakeable. Blatant even. How had I missed this before?

All of this has been happening for a long time. My dad organized Vietnam War protests, and was stopped by the police every time he went out in his car thereafter. We know that people like Noam Chomsky have been under surveillance for decades. This kind of surveillance isn't new.

What's new is the technology we've all built to help them do it.

That man who followed us? I took a picture of him and he ran away. Just saying.
