Your Digital Trail Data Fuels Political and Legal Agendas

"This is the fourth story in our four-part series examining your digital trail and who potentially has access to it. It was co-reported by G.W. Schulzfrom the Center for Investigative Reporting. Yesterday, we examined your Fourth Amendment rights and how some believe the digital age has weakened them. Today we see how government officials and private attorneys can use your online data in politics and courtrooms."

"Here's a question for the digital age: If you are one of those people who say, 'I've done nothing wrong; I've got nothing to hide,' do you have any reason to worry that someone might try to use your digital records against you?"

"We posed that question to John Dean, a man who has become immortalized in U.S. history books as President Richard Nixon's White House lawyer. His answer: 'Think about the Nixon Enemies List.'"
