Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:07:52 GMT

Computing in the Could: What's next? A workshop by Princeton University`s Center for Information Technology Policy brings together experts from computer science, law, politics and industry to explore the social and policy implications of `computing in the cloud`. This panel explores the new services might develop, and how will today's services might evolve. How well will cloud computing be likely to serve users, companies, investors, government, and the public over the longer run? Which social and policy problems will get worse due to cloud computing, and which will get better?

Senator Chris Dodd blocks FISA / Telcom immunity bill (CSPAN)

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 02:15:32 GMT

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) just defeated an attempt to pass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) which would have provided immunity to telecommunications companies who cooperated with the Bush administration?s secret wiretapping program . After nearly a full day spent on the Senate floor, Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) defeated an attempt to pass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reform legislation that would grant immunity to telecommunications companies who cooperated with the Bush administrations secret wiretapping program. Dodd objected to the motion to proceed to the bill early this morning and remained on the floor for almost ten hours, taking a stand for the rule of law and the Constitution with his statements throughout the day. At approximately 7:30 P.M. Majority Leader Reid announced the FISA reform bill would be pulled from the Senate calendar and reconsidered in January. Today we have scored a victory for American civil liberties and sent a message to President Bush that we will not tolerate his abuse of power and veil of secrecy, said Dodd. The President should not be above the rule of law, nor should the telecom companies who supported his quest to spy on American citizens. video originally from: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/12/17/chris-dodd-does-it-reid-pulls-telecom-immunity-bill-off-the-table/

The Big Brother State

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:57:10 GMT

The Big Brother State is an educational film by David Scharf & Stephen Taylor about what politicians claim to be protection of our freedom but what they refer to as repressive legislation. "Since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11, governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which, sothe governments say, should increase national security. These laws obviously aim at another goal: the states gaining more and more control of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom." The Big Brother State
