This video was put together by Donal and Wade at the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco (April 2009). For more information and/or to get involved, go to: www.nodecity.com/empower.

Dan Kaminsky, Pete Lindstrom and Marcus Ranum put forward their thoughts on Australia’s plan to censor the Internet. Dan talks about many of the issues that Securus Global’s Matthew Strahan talked about in his interview with ban.this.url. Surprising that these concerns have barely rated a mention here. Marcus certainly adds some interesting analogies and angles to the whole debate.
