Doctorow on privacy

March 8, 2007

Cory Doctorow rocks in general, but I especially liked this talk on privacy he gave recently at Duke: From Myspace to Homeland Security: Privacy and the Totalitarian Urge. Worth a listen. Right about pretty much everything.

I recorded it for CFRO radio in Vancouver - it’s a pretty good quality listen.
