Thx! The second paragraph in this link is a really great counter to present to legislators. And from Jens himself. > further: "on the ability of law enforcement bodies to provide security to the > citizens in the EU." LE cannot provide security. They are only there to mop up after the fact. > regulate... while respecting the European Convention on Human Rights and > other principles and guarantees regarding civil liberties in Europe and their > obligations under the Treaties. Any such measures must be duly justified and > must be proportionate and limited to what is necessary in a democratic > society." HearHear. Save that democracy requires anon. I had the privilege once of speaking with various policy makers on this issue at the head of a very large national company. At the end, they felt that Anon Services were neither good nor bad... eg: acceptable under the workplace personal endeavour policy. However ultimately a soft ban came down because they really didn't want to deal with the inbound LE requests and temporary loss of hardware. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
