But on Tuesday, the staunch Georgia conservative showed up here at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference to warn of the dangers of an overly intrusive government. Barr said that as the 19th century dawned, natural resources were vital to our country. A century later, it was financial resources. Now, he said, information "will represent power in the 21st century." He condemned the collection of information by both corporations and the government, and said that Congress needs to intervene. ... The Austrians have their own problems. A proposal that is nearly certain to become law will expand police surveillance capability to a level not seen since the Nazis, said Erich Moechel from Quintessenz. "They can wiretap according to this law ... without the order of an independent court," he said. And Russia? Forget about it. The country has already banned encryption software that can be used to shield sensitive information from prying eyes. More recently, the FSB -- the successor to the KGB -- has required Internet service providers to allow agents to monitor all communications. "[They] must maintain hardware, software, and a dedicated line to the local FSB department," Moechel said. The US government has required telephone companies to build in similar capabilities, though officials say surveillance will take place only with a court order. A representative from the US Department of Justice said that societies had to balance freedom with security. No surveillance at all would be fine, said Scott Charney, "if everyone were law abiding, but they're not." .... One audience member asked whether Justice Department-backed restrictions on overseas encryption sales that keep encryption out of the hands of human rights workers in Kosovo can be justified. "You have to balance a lot of competing equities," Charney replied. full story http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/18987.html -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1999-04-07 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
