by Randall Smith | 8:24 am, January 22, 2013

Seeing Stars: All Your Data Belongs to the Government

by Randall Smith | 6:00 am, June 8, 2012

At least, that what the Lieberman-Collins Cybersecurity Act wants. It’s another bill that would eliminate your rights online for marginal gains in security. That’s okay, though. You like having the government snoop on everything you do online, right?
