Tikrai geras straipsnelis apie tai, ar gali būti didinamas visuomenės saugumas privatumo sąskaita. Ar tikrai saugumas yra privatumo priešingybė? Ar įvairių šalių vyriausybės gąsdindamos savo piliečius terorizmu, o žadėdamos saugumą ir mainais už tai reikalaudamos atsisakyti savo privatumo, nebando mus grąžinti į Rytų Vokietijos ar šių dienų Kinijos sitaciją, t.y įvęsti totalią kontrolę? Ko gero sunku būtų paprieštarauti, kad šiandien klausimas "saugumas vs. privatumas " virto "laisvė vs. kontrolė".
The famous quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin reads: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
P.S. labai patiko vienas šio straipsnio komentaras:
"What is often assumed is that the government owns the country. It’s therefor assumed that the government is responsible for our security. Everything we do and everywhere we go, the government must protect us in all cases. This is wrong!
A country is owned by its citizens. The government is there to organize the country. We tell (via elections) the government what to do with the country. We therefor should also tell the government what to do in order to protect us, not the other way around.
The only one who is responsible for your security is YOU. It’s time people start acting like it. It’s often said that security and privacy are two opposites. If you plan and organize it well, security and privacy can very well go hand-in-hand."
