Quotation of the Day for April 3, 2013



"Surveillance is harmful because it can chill the exercise of our civil liberties, especially our intellectual privacy. It is also gives the watcher power over the watched, creating the the risk of a variety of other harms, such as discrimination, coercion, and the threat of selective enforcement, where critics of the government can be prosecuted or blackmailed for wrongdoing unrelated to the purpose of the surveillance."

- Neil M. Richards, the article The Dangers of Surveillance, published in the Harvard Law Review.
