What Should Be In a Technology Bill of Rights?

snydeq writes "The Deep End's Paul Venezia argues in favor of the creation of a Technology Bill of Rights to protect individuals against malfeasance, tyranny, and exploitation in an increasingly technological age. Venezia's initial six proposed articles center on anonymity rights, net neutrality, the open-sourcing of law enforcement software and hardware, and the like. What sort of efficacy do you see such a document having, and in an ideal world, which articles do you see as imperative for inclusion in a Technology Bill of Rights?"

    If they really were inalienable, how come they're violated on a regular basis around the world?

    ...if they are inalienable how come the previous administration thought that they did not even apply to "aliens" (i.e. foreigners) in the US? Sad thing is the current administration seems to think so too since they have restarted the Guantanamo "trials".
