Private companies are assisting governments in monitoring citizens internet communications. People have been detained by the police and had their computer searched just for googling certain terms, have you heard of the Total Information Awareness program? Have you heard of computer firms selling social network analysis algorithms to the government? Have you heard of the program Magic Lantern? Wake up.

[Chris Damask]

Not really. The internet is pretty open and free right now, we need to keep it that way.

[balistik94]

Too late for that.
