Internet "Social Network Constitution?

[GreyGeek]

Author Lori Andrews hammers home in her alarming new book I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did, the loss of privacy on the Internet.

To restore choices to consumers, Andrews, in I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did, puts forward her own solution: a “Social Network Constitution”. The author’s proposed document, posted on her website, calls for “The Right to Connect”; “The Right to Free Speech and Freedom of Expression”; The Right to Privacy of Place and Information”; “The Right to Privacy of Thoughts, Emotions, and Sentiments”; “The Right to Control One’s Image”; “The Right to a Fair Trial”; “The Right to an Untainted Jury”; “The Right to Due Process of Law and the Right to Notice”; “Freedom from Discrimination”; and “Freedom of Association”.

If you live in America I'll wager that you thought you already had a guarantee on those rights, unless you've been keeping up with the shenanigans of Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, the NSA, FBI, DHS, TSA and other Internet aggregators of demographic information and administers of "justice".

An interesting read.

Oh, welcome to the gulag.

...and talking of "the right to a fair trial" here's some news of a woman in a Texas prison who is expected to receive the date of her execution.
