Privacy…What does it mean to you?
My colleague Terry Sigle is preparing what should be a very interesting article that “looks at the technical and social issues around privacy … not just electronic privacy or privacy on the Internet.”
Privacy — that is one loaded word! For example …I just read in USA Today that “The Bush Administration said Wednesday that it will allow an independent court to oversee its controversial surveillance program in which the National Security Agency has electronically eavesdropped on Americans and other without obtaining court warrants.”
Well, Duh! I thought that was what the Constitution stipulated in the first place – controls and balances that protect our rights. (And I’m a Republican!)
Here’s my challenge: Please support Terry’s effort to prepare this article by posting your comments on his blog. If we all cooperate to get a broad sampling of insight and thought, Terry’s article could be a pivotal participatory work. Please reach out and ask your friends … and their friends …
I’m off now to post my privacy thoughts on Terry’s blog. See you there!
