Are Privacy Activists Anti-Technology?


Are Privacy Activists Anti-Technology? 04/26/2004 01:09 PM
Highlighting the trouble of categorizing an entire group of people under one label, Declan McCullough's latest column is talking about how certain privacy activists seem less like privacy activists and a lot more like anti-technology Luddites. The article demonstrates that "privacy activists" don't have a single overarching position on things - and some groups seem to focus on alerting people to potential privacy problems due to regulations, corporate practices and technologies, while others are trying to get certain technologies banned outright. History has shown that that's not going to happen. Technology doesn't go away - and it's not inherently bad or good. A much more effective plan would be to educate people to the risks that certain technologies present, and let them make up their own minds. In fact, it's likely that some companies, realizing an opportunity in new privacy threats, may come along with their own technologies to help protect privacy as well.

Chatting with Ethan of Geekcorps and Gillian of Witness conspiring to blogifying developing nations and organzations doing human rights work.

Ethan and Gillian are educating me on doing human rights and technology work in developing nations and I'm trying to help integrate blogging into their work. The stuff that they're doing is SO important, I think it's a great application for the blog amplifier.

Ethan's convinced me to visit Africa. Geekcorps sends geek volunteers into developing nations to work on technology projects. Ethan was an Internet entrepreneur turned social entrepreneur.

Gillian has been an activist her whole life, first as a high school Amnesty International chapter leader, then as an attorney, then as a investigative documentary producer. Just listening to her talk about all of the things she's done is so inspiring and is making me feel like a couch potato blogger.
