‘I’ve Got Nothing to Hide’ and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy

Posted on July 29th, 2008 by admin.
Categories: privacy, text.

“In this short essay, written for a symposium in the San Diego Law Review, Professor Daniel Solove examines the nothing to hide argument. When asked about government surveillance and data mining, many people respond by declaring: “I’ve got nothing to hide.” According to the nothing to hide argument, there is no threat to privacy unless the government uncovers unlawful activity, in which case a person has no legitimate justification to claim that it remain private. The nothing to hide argument and its variants are quite prevalent, and thus are worth addressing. In this essay, Solove critiques the nothing to hide argument and exposes its faulty underpinnings.”

IKKE DØDEN

Døden er ikke veninden kommer aldrig tilbage
fra sin rejse væk fra Metro Nord, væk væk
døden er ikke sølv og turkis
sejlende bort fra fascinationens opløste krop
døden er ikke at styrte på gaden
blandt dem der bukker sig og dem der haster
døden er
ikke at elske og alt er som det plejer.

GabMail is a service which allows you to record a video with your webcam and send it via mail. Guess that could be useful, although I’ve never used it myself.

Grass - The History of Marijuana (In the US)

Posted on July 18th, 2008 by admin.
Categories: movies, politics, video.



Grass is the American history of marijuana. It’s both informative and funny, in part because it includes a lot of old propaganda clips on the subject. Narrated by Woody Harrelson.
