Privacy International Launches System to Shed Light on Controversial Technologies

EPIC: “International watchdog Privacy International has announced the launch of a new website for bringing transparency to “technical mysteries” behind controversial systems. Cracking the Black Box identifies key questions regarding mysterious technologies and asks experts, whistleblowers, and other concerned parties to “help crack the box” by anonymously contributing ideas and input. The organization responsible for the technology in question is then invited to provide an official response. The first two issues addressed on the PI site are the Google Wi-Fi controversy and the EU proposal to retain search data.”
