The EFF and your rights.

PoliticsAn associate turned me on to the Electronic Frontier Foundation website. Normally it is not a topic that has interest to me, but that all changed once I read more...

An increadible thing is happening in our world. Technology is bringing information directly to us at the speed of light. Unfortunately, technology is also being used to turn our inquisitive nature into a money generating model for corporations.

There is a growing concern among technology users that all information will be turned into a commodity and sold like oil and gas.

That is where the Electronic Frontier Foundation steps in. They try to protect the rights of the end-user BEFORE they get taken away. The beauty of this site is that it is not trying to generate a culture of fear, but rather a culture of the informed. All that they report on are actual court cases that mainstream media doesn't alert us to.

I am now a firm believer and hope that you too will check them out.

I just read your post...

Then I checked the website.

Oh my gosh.

The only question I have is why doesn't the traditional media routes cover this content?
