[governance] web: AU judge on privacy: Computer code trumps the law

[Ian Peter]

Justice Kirby's main point is very interesting - that Google and Facebook
etc have effectively overwritten the long standing privacy principle that
personal information should only be used for the purpose for which it was
originally provided. 

That will in time change the legal landscape, not necessarily for the
better. Thanks for the link!
