Link Resource Database

Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass surveillance.

This database focuses on facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that they should take seriously.

Notes: Contains the text of an open letter from one of the councillors who voted to keep Flock in which he threatens to introduce legislation to ban the Internet, cell phones, and cameras in his town. To which the only logical response can be, "Wow, the city is using all those things to track our movements?" The false equivalency between things free people choose and things that are forced upon them by the government is disgusting.
