<p dir="ltr"> I might be a bit out of touch but there is a conundrum between the level of individual freedom and security...security is being able to uniquely identify every user of the internet, and have the capacity to mitigate against illegal or unsanctioned use... freedom here relates to the highest concepts of human rights...and we can list them...if we can find seven interrelated principles of human rights...and balance them against the character of each user...then we would have set the foundation for focused dialog on freedom vs security.<br>
