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.

From a mass surveillance company that wants to stuff this list full of propaganda? Go flock yourself!
