Today, Monday, July 29, Dorothy Denning begins her debate vs. John Gilmore
over The Absolute Right to Privacy on Wired Online's Brain Tennis site. Do
citizens of the world have an "unalienable right" to privacy - or are there
reasons why governments ought to have access to our communications? This
debate will run daily through August 7. Follow along at
http://www.wired.com/braintennis/. To get into the debate yourself, go to:

An excerpt of Dorothy's first post today:
"I'm not ready to accept 'the cat is out of
the bag.' Let's look for a way of enjoying
the benefits of encryption without
unnecessarily hindering the ability of law
enforcement to perform its mission. Let's
use encryption for privacy, but also give
law enforcement access to communications and
computer files when there is probable cause
and a judge has issued a court order. In
some cases, that access must be
surreptitious. Imagine the FBI calling a
family boss and saying 'Give me your keys so
I can wiretap your phone!'"
John Gilmore's first post follows tomorrow. See you there.
Best,
Roderick Simpson
