Privacy International Releases 2007 Report

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Privacy International has released their report on privacy for 2007, which includes a color-coded world map that highlights the countries with the best privacy laws, the privacy-hostile countries being in black. While many of the overall rankings may come as no surprise, it does highlight some of the more obscure abuses. For example, Venezuela requires your fingerprints just to get a phone and South Korea requires a government registration number linked to your identity before you can post on message boards. Makes you wonder who is Number One?"

Some of them protected their citizens by caving in to Islamic extremists rather than supporting their own citizen's freedom of speech.

It's a shame that your post doesn't say anything "new" or "insightful", or offer any "solutions" to the "problems" you "suggest".
