Pointing out encryption, anonymnity, etcetera as means couldn't hurt...
Speaking of privacy and cypherpunkly interests, one bill that seems to have grown out of the FTC's recent interest in the area will be introduced in two hours. The legislation being introduced at 10:30 am will restrict selling mailing lists with childrens' names and other identifying info on them, including email lists. Another attempt to regulate the net, or a good thing? Supporting is Christian Coalition, Family Research Council, Enough is Enough!, Bruce "I wrote the CDA" Taylor's group, and EPIC. I'm not sure what I think of it, since I just got the text of the legislation yesterday. -Declan
