Week 14 Reading

• Oh gods please no! Don't make me read this "No Place to Hide" thing! I understand that while you are online, you leave a footprint on every page you visit. And I understand that we are under constant surveillance, but honestly I am sick of hearing and reading about it.
• I thought that the TIA had existed much earlier than 2002?
• TIA sounds like it was a huge violation of privacy, but so is the PATRIOT Act and we still have that hanging around. Except now everyone things that Obama was behind in when in actuality it was passed under the early W. Bush administration.
• Also, part of the PATRIOT Act was that libraries would have to release patron records. I still remember the ALA's privacy movement with the Militant Librarian buttons. I would love to have one of those.
• I'm glad that Vermont is trying to clarify library privacy policies under the law.
