The Digital Surveillance Grid and How to Escape It Season III Ep. 5
Sun Feb 01 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Eric Meder, a freedom-focused educator and co-owner of Privacy Academy, to unpack what many people sense but struggle to articulate: the rapid build-out of a digital surveillance control grid.
Eric is on the front lines helping everyday people understand how modern technology, convenience culture, and digital systems are quietly eroding privacy, autonomy, and personal freedom. Alongside his father, Eric co-founded PrivacyAcademy.com with one clear mission: to help non-techy, normal people protect their liberty in an increasingly monitored world.
In this conversation, we explore:
* What the digital surveillance state actually looks like today
* How tracking, data collection, and control systems are being normalized
* Why privacy is not about hiding, but about sovereignty
* Practical steps regular families can take to reduce digital exposure
* How to reclaim agency without going off grid or becoming extreme
This episode is not fear-based. It is awareness-based.
If you care about freedom, bodily autonomy, family protection, and staying human in a hyper-digitized world, this is a must-listen.
