Transparency and Secrecy in Government »Transparency and Secrecy in GovernmentTransparency and Secrecy in Government☜Several governments have launched ambitious Internet projects (data.gov, data.gov.uk) to expose their data. At the same time, organizations such as Wikileaks also use Internet to fight the excessive secrecy with which governments tend to protect their sensitive data. How do these two trends combine?☜FFB597

Excerpt / Summary

The strategy of Wikileaks, as explained in an essay by Julian Assange, is to make the world transparent, so that closed organizations are disabled, and open ones aren't hurt. But he's wrong. Actually, a free flow of digital information enables two diametrically opposed patterns: low-commitment anarchy on the one hand and absolute secrecy married to total ambition on the other.
