Subject: [.plan] Zitat des Tages

Eben Moglen:
> Without secrecy, democratic self-government is impossible. Because people
> may not discuss public affairs with those they choose, excluding those
> with whom they do not wish to converse. [...] Anonymity is necessary for
> the conduct of democratic politics. [...] That autonomy is vitiated by the
> wholesale invasion of secrecy and privacy, that free decision making is
> impossible in a society where every move is monitored [...] privacy is a
> requirement of democratic self-government. The effort to fasten the
> procedures of pervasive surveillance on human society is the antithesis
> of liberty.
