Statement |
| 6 | Allenna Leonard | Privacy and civil liberties concerns have been raised about the fact that digital communication is not protected in the same way as mail and wire phone communication. With cell phones, not only the content of the communication but the location of the phone user and which other phone users are nearby may be monitored by governments or by employers. |

Comment |
| 37 | Raul Espejo | This may be a problem in extreme situations, however I suppose there are (or will be available in the future)technical ways of maintaining privacy. On the other hand, I think, the advantages derived from cordinated actions outweight the problems. |
| 46 | Keith Pheby | Perhaps we need to radically re-think the notion of 'privacy'. |
| 63 | Pete Barnsley | Following Raul's comment, Digital technologies have made content security easier and available to 'the masses'. The location security may however be lessened. Is privacy one of the core social factors that we need to address? Or is it Trust and the many trust relationships that networks form around? |
