Information accountability
Information accountability
Existing legal and technical mechanisms intended to protect our privacy, copyright, and other important values have been overwhelmed by the increasingly open information environment in which we live. These threats follow from the ease of information storage, transportation, aggregation, and analysis. We face the real risk that the technical laws spelled out by Gordon Moore (growth in processing power) and Robert Metcalfe (network effects) will permanently overwhelm our values as enshrined in society’s laws.

Abstract
Existing legal and technical mechanisms intended to protect our privacy, copyright, and other important values have been overwhelmed by the increasingly open information environment in which we live. These threats follow from the ease of information storage, transportation, aggregation, and analysis. We face the real risk that the technical laws spelled out by Gordon Moore (growth in processing power) and Robert Metcalfe (network effects) will permanently overwhelm our values as enshrined in society’s laws.
