I’m sad to be missing this year’s Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference (co-chaired by my brother, no less, but with me still not there!), an event I’ve really enjoyed the last couple years.
Though I’m not there, I’ve been following it on twitter and getting glimpses from a few blogs I read already. I’m particularly interested in the social network users’ Bill of Rights they’re collaboratively drafting during the conference.There are soooo many issues to think about, but I agree with the idea that it would be nice if we had rights we could expect to be honored across different networks.
The current draft at the conference (and there have been others put together before) doesn’t seem anti-business or onerous to me… but as always, I’m curious to see what y’all think.
Interesting times, indeed.

Standardization across the social media industry concerning privacy and selling user info would be a great idea. It doesn’t seem this would be bad for business. Making the consumer happy seems like it would actually help business.
