Carrier IQ, Lawful Access, and assorted acronyms

I realize I'm coming to these respective parties quite late, but I still thought they were worth mentioning.

First, Xanthippa takes a good, hard look at Carrier IQ and what it's doing with peoples' smartphone data.

Second, Michael Geist explains the goverment's lawful access deception.

Also, don't forget about INDECT. Seriously, what with SOPA, PROTECT IP, and God knows what else, we seem to be looking forward to an increasingly acronymized world.
