Change Privacy Expectations, Intel Deputy Says
Posted By admin
As Congress debates new rules for government eavesdropping, a top intelligence official says it is time that people in the United States changed their definition of privacy. Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that government and businesses properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information. (New York Times [1], Monday)
Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence. — Thomas Jefferson
