In this episode of Randy Unscripted, Randy explores the complicated question of whether Americans truly have a right to privacy online. As part of the NAPODPOMO challenge, he breaks down how digital privacy works in the United States, why there is no single federal law guaranteeing online privacy, and how existing protections often depend on who is collecting your data and where you live.
The conversation covers topics including the Fourth Amendment, the Federal Trade Commission, COPPA, HIPAA, data collection by private companies, social media tracking, and the growing importance of understanding personal digital security. Randy encourages listeners to think critically about how much information they share online and what practical steps they can take to better protect themselves in an increasingly connected world.
