Open Rights Group feierte ersten Geburtstag

Die britische Open Rights Group ist jetzt ein Jahr alt geworden und die BBC berichtete darüber: Group battles for digital rights.

„They have been able to make a real impact on media and in people’s minds as to what abuses there are of our digital rights.“ Mr Holloway, Org’s Operations Manager, said the group and its supporters were fighting a „guerrilla war“ against organisations and governments who were systematically eroding people’s rights in the digital age. „Hard fought civil and human rights are being lost as we move into the digital world,“ said Mr Holloway.

„We are trying to define digital rights – it is difficult to pin down. It will only become clear as more digital rights abuses emerge and the technologies emerge.“ The group is currently campaigning on issues such as net neutrality, censorship, internet privacy and the RFID tags increasingly being used to identify things and people.
