'New technologies are making it easier for private companies and the
government to learn about everything we do - in our homes, in our cars,
in stores, and within our communities. As they collect vast amounts of
data about us, things are getting truly spooky!
A future without
any privacy is just scary. And privacy is not the only thing at stake
when everything we say, everywhere we go, and everyone we associate with
is fair game. We have seen the ways that surveillance – whether by
government or corporations – shuts down free speech and free
association, undermines a free media, and threatens the free exercise of
religion.
We shouldn’t be forced to choose between new
technologies and our liberty. The ACLU is fighting for the proper
safeguards to allow us to regain control over our personal information.'
This was produced by the American ACLU, but the message is of course universal. Why give the bastards anything you don't have to?
