## Resource

Is your data really yours? New Hampshire State Representative James Spillane joins Sean Themea to explain why one of the biggest threats to liberty today isn’t happening in Washington—it’s happening in the cloud. From the Fourth Amendment and digital property rights to the dangers of the third-party doctrine, Spillane breaks down how outdated laws are leaving Americans vulnerable to government overreach in the digital age. He also shares why New Hampshire is leading the fight to protect personal data, what citizens can do today to better safeguard their privacy, and why defending property rights must now include protecting the information we store online.
