Rod Blum on Technology

Government misuse of technology erodes Bill of Rights

Thirteen years later, the websites we visit are monitored, Homeland Security tracks our cell phone movements, our tweets are monitored by the FBI, our emails are being read and stored, and the NSA can secretly wiretaps our calls. Things we never thought could happen here in the land of the free. I will work to reclaim those liberties that have been taken away from us.

As a software developer I am particularly concerned with copyright infringement of intellectual property, but legislation such as PIPA, SOPA and now CISPA threaten to give federal regulation of the Internet to special interests.
