[governance] Saving the Net

[Norbert Bollow]

Thanks, Jean-Louis for sharing that! Some really good thoughts from
Glenn Greenwald there. The one point where I disagree is in regard to
the assertion that privacy violations by governments are more
dangerous than data processing by private companies: First, any data in
the hands of the private sector should be assumed to be also available
to intelligence services. Secondly, we really don't know what kind of
socioeconomic network effects might get empowered by such data, I don't
see any assurance that this can't create some kind of monster that
might take the shape of a new kind of digital analogue to racism or
even feudalism.

Greetings,
Norbert
