“Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.”
John Perry Barlow
“Policy makers are rethinking the role of government in regulating privacy on the Web and asking how technology tools can help, ... In that sense, the P3P timing has been very good.”
Daniel Weitzner
“Policy makers are rethinking the role of government in regulating privacy on the Web and asking how technology tools can help. In that sense, the P3P timing has been very good.”
“There needs to be a balance between privacy rights and security issues. The government wants more ability to cover up its own activities but expand their ability to intrude into the lives of Canadians. It is perverse logic and a double standard.”
Peter MacKay
“Almost every privacy abuse comes from the failure of a company or government to uphold the principles of the Fair Information Practices. There should be no secret databases. You should have a right to see your record in a database and to correct it. Information collected for one purpose shouldn't be used for another purpose without your permission, and companies that collect personal information should treat it with respect, controlling who has access to it.”
Simson Garfinkel
“I certainly respect privacy and privacy rights. But on the other hand, the first function of government is to guarantee the security of all the people.”
Phil Crane
“Fortunately for us, the Europeans are pushing [the U.S.] government to do something about privacy.”
Shari Steele
