Is Apple Taking Its Secrecy Too Far?

Is Apple Taking Its Secrecy Too Far? 01/06/2005 12:42 AM
Last month, we wrote about Apple suing some people for releasing secret information about future products. Everyone knows that Apple is pretty secretive, and that they get upset when product info is released outside of Steve Jobs' big announcements. However, the latest info shows that they're suing ThinkSecret as well. ThinkSecret is one of the sites that published the info. They didn't take the info -- they simply published the info that someone sent them. Court rulings have shown that simply passing on information does not make you liable for its contents. Apple may have a real complaint against whoever internal at Apple revealed trade secret information. However, suing the site that publicized the info is an over reaction, and is more based out of a desire to intimidate such sites than to actually protect their trade secrets. On the flip side, this may be another example of the Streisand Effect. By pointing out which articles on ThinkSecret were problematic, Apple effectively shined a big bright spotlight on the info they wanted to keep quiet.

Secrecy Run Rampant

Secrecy Run Rampant 09/08/2004 10:00 PM

DefenseTech: Satellite Pics Going Dark. You might be able to see the hurricanes heading for Florida. Maybe. But just about all other commercial satellite imagery could be put off-limits, if a new Senate bill goes through as planned. The measure, "Nondisclosure of Certain Products of Commercial Satellite Operations," would exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) unclassified, commercial satellite pictures bought up by the government, as well as "any... other product that is derived from such data."

The mania for governmental secrecy is one of the more dangerous outgrowths of 9/11. This law, if passed, would ratchet up the hiding of formerly public information another degree. Does Congress ever read the laws it votes on?

Security Theater, Secrecy and Hidden
"Laws" 09/21/2004 12:28 PM
Ed Felten, a Princeton University computer scientist, describes many of the more visible security measures since 9/11 as "security theater" -- for show, not for real. The airline security system certainly qualifies in some respects.

The Kafka-esque Gilmore v. Ashcroft legal battle gets more bizarre. Having been told by an appeals court that it can't have a secret hearing to discuss a secret "law" that forces us all to show our IDs to get on airplanes, the government is asking for reconsideration of the ruling. You can find the legal documents here.

Meanwhile, security expert Bruce Schneier points out that the new "Trusted Traveler" program, pre-screening people to let them cruise through security without all the bother, is "an easy path for terrorists."
