PREVIEW - The Friday Edition: What does the government actually know about you?

“What does the government know about you?” A few weeks ago, Tangle staff member Russell Nystrom brought up this question in a team meeting. How much? How little? Where do they get the information and what, possibly, could they do with it? It’s an evocative question and the truth was, I only had a rough idea of the answer. Russell wanted to explore it for a story and I encouraged him to do so — and then he enlisted help from two editors on our team, Lindsey Knuth and Audrey Moorehead. Today, I’m proud to share the piece that came out of Russell’s question, which offers a series of eye-opening and thought-provoking answers.
