[governance] Re: [bestbits] UNGA resolution on the right to privacy in the digital age

.....Mr. Braun warned that without proper checks, “we risk turning into 
Orwellian states” where citizens are being constantly monitored, he told 
the General Assembly’s committee on human rights. The resolution was 
adopted by consensus by the committee and now goes before the full 
Assembly in December. It followed weeks of tough negotiations with 
Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. — members of the 
so-called Five Eyes intelligence alliance — who sought to limit the 
resolution’s scope.
The five countries are not among the 65 co-sponsors of the bill.

Five Eyes = Big Brother!  .... important to consider/remember this, as 
the Five Eyes are not amongst the countries routinely castigated by 
some, on these lists....
