Civil Liberties and the World Wide Web

13/03/2017 By ACOMSDave Leave a Comment

Civil LibertiesIt is interesting to read this article, as it reflects the things that I have been writing and talking about over the last 20 years – of course I have been writing about Big Brother and the loss of civil liberties in part, and this is now encompassed in the world wide web and how government is using it to monitor and control what we do, see and hear.  I make no bones about the fact that I distrust government in its attitude and continued use of phrases  about we need CCTV to control terrorism, for your protection etc.  That we don’t need personal encryption, as if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to hide, and we won’t maintain personal data longer ‘that is necessary’.  There ares lots of more glib phrases, but they all come down to government control, and you losing your civil liberties  Civil Liberties - CCTV

It has taken all of us to build the web we have, and now it is up to all of us to build the web we want – for everyone
