Jason Bassler is a publisher, activist, and co-founder of The Free Thought Project. His work follows police accountability, censorship, institutional power, and the expanding use of surveillance technology. In E002, he brings the conversation down to street level: communities confronting automated license-plate readers and asking who controls the data those systems collect.
Why this voice is here.
E002 examines a control grid that can feel abstract until its components arrive in a neighborhood. Jason’s perspective connects the national argument over data and artificial intelligence to the cameras, contracts, public meetings, and local organizing already shaping daily life.
