The End of Anonymity
,----[ Quote ]
| But of course, the "opt-in" part is just a
| fig-leaf. It could be done just as easily
| even if they don't opt in, provided you have
| access to their photos, from a passport
| application, say, and a belief that you have
| a right - nay, duty - to keep watch over
| them, purely for their own protection, you
| understand.

Control Orders
,----[ Quote ]
| Control Orders remain a cruel act of
| degradation of people who have never been
| convicted of anything, utterly incompatible
| with human rights. Parliament will today
| vote to renew them again - expect the
| parties to compete in their gravitas as they
| underline the threat to our very existence
| and way of life (sic) from terrorism.

German High Court Limits Phone and E-Mail Data Storage
,----[ Quote ]
| Germany's highest court has rejected a
| controversial law requiring data on
| telephone calls and e-mail traffic to be
| stored for six months for possible use by
| law enforcement. Data stored so far must be
| deleted immediately, and strict controls
| must be put in place before the law can come
| into force again.

Is it time to defend our rights?
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to a robust policy on the part of his
| current internet service provider, his site
| has remained online despite the best efforts
| of those who are embarrassed by its
| contents.
|
| Until last month, that is, when cryptome.org
| disappeared from the internet after Network
| Solutions disabled access to the site's
| domain.

Chinese scientists worry about Google pullout
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's threat to pull out of China may
| have been met with a shrug in some circles,
| but there's a population of Chineses
| citizens who appear to be genuinely worried
| about the prospect: scientists. Nature
| conducted an informal survey of Chinese
| researchers, and got nearly 800 responses.
| Well over 90 percent of those who responded
| say they use Google for searches, and 48
| percent felt that the loss of Google would
| create a significant problem for their
| research.
