If they were antithetical then as freedom increased security would decrease, and as security increased freedom would decrease.
It is not IMHO inevitable that if we increase security we will jeopardize freedom. My concern is that if we ignore security we will have no freedom left to protect.
I don't believe the Internet community is split into two camps on this issue - there appear to me to be many places where people draw their lines at different points. I don't believe that security is the enemy of freedom. I believe that freedom needs security in order to exist at all.
You will pardon my asking this, but, security from what? Who are the evil Network Terrorists throwing Bit Bombs or whatever? The only security you need on the internet is keeping your site from being broken in to, which is mostly a matter of setting it up properly. What, exactly, is the "Security" that you are offering us?
