Zuckers! Facebook Has Secretly Been Giving User Info to Cops - Technology

That companies now exist to search for your Facebook account and tell your bosses your secrets. That people are quitting Facebook en masse. Now, there's yet another reason you might want to make the switch to Google+: Facebook has gotten into the habit of allowing police to scour users' profiles without their consent. According to a new report from Reuters and Westlaw, federal judges have granted at least 24 search warrants since 2008 allowing law enforcement officials to snoop around people's Facebook accounts.

Some of the warrants sought things as innocuous as status updates, but others gave access to friend requests, photos, event calendars and personal messages.

Dans certain pays, il est le garant de la liberté de certaines personnes (journalistes, opposants politiques…), pour certaines personnes, une erreur et leur vie peut être mise en danger. Dans le premier billet de cette petite série, nous avons fait la différence entre la protection du contenu et du contexte. Nous avons vu que la protection des contenus passait par le chiffrement des données et que la protection du contexte, bien plus complexe, nécessitait un ensemble de mesures adaptées à des problématiques variées et qu’il existait une forte interdépendance entre ces mesures. Ce que l’on souhaite quand on parle d’anonymat, c’est bien évidemment une solution capable de protéger tant le contenu que le contexte.

I remember seeing this a while ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it then, because punishing those who understand the problems with a lengthy verbose soliloquy isn't a good strategy for disseminating information. The other problem is that something 60 pages long without any references or citations beyond an occasional casual link to wikipedia, smacks of reinventing the wheel.
