Quotes by Peter Swire
Cameras used for specific suspects and at specific times, that's good law enforcement. But I don't want it part of my permanent record every time I scratch myself on a public street.
Everyone is still trying to figure out how to share more often while still keeping the key stuff secret.
It's everyone your teenager called from home, who is dating whom, contacts with reporters for politicians.
Accuracy that is good enough for marketing is not necessarily good enough to detain a suspect.
The more (the government) can figure out who the surfers are, the more peoples' First Amendment rights are in jeopardy.
Private industry spends billions of dollars on this targeting. The companies think it works. Why wouldn't it work for politicians?
Right now, there's no one at home at the White House when it comes to privacy. There's no political official in the White House who has privacy in their title or as part of their job description. Congress should take the lead here because this administration has not.
