Snowden

A mobile-first interactive tool on how social media activity relates to surveillance, which taught through real-time interaction with data.

The tool's opening screen: the title "Snowden" over the question "Are you being watched?", in front of a man in glasses, with a button marked Access.

The project

A companion to the film for Open Road: a tool on your phone that shows how social media activity relates to surveillance.

My part

I built the mobile-first tool in React on the Facebook API. It was designed to teach people by letting them interact with data in real time.
