Between the reports this week about that the U.S. National Security Agency has been mining personal user data from some of the world's biggest Internet players through a project called 'PRISM', to the government's defense of wide scale data collection for security reasons, and finally the outright denials from web companies that they had ever even heard of PRISM let alone cooperated with it, it's hard to know what's really going on. So we were pleased today to have the chance to speak with Eugene H. Spafford, aka "Spaf," a computer science professor at Purdue University and a noted expert in computer security and ethics whose C.V. includes time serving on the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee, to help elucidate what's going on here -- and perhaps point us in the direction of the truth here.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/2LJMssHjPh0/
