There is a new Edge Special Event about the Hillis’s question “WHO GETS TO KEEP SECRETS?”<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe question of secrecy in the information age is clearly a deep social (and mathematical) problem, and well worth paying attention to.
\nWhen does my right to privacy trump your need for security?; Should a democratic government be allowed to practice secret diplomacy? Would we rather live in a world with guaranteed privacy or a world in which there are no secrets? If the answer is somewhere in between, how do we draw the line?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With all the wikileaks hype over the last year, the Edge essay is la perfect supplement to our last paper about anonymity in genetics – check out BMC Ethics “Caught you: Threats to confidentiality due to the public release of large-scale genetic data sets<\/a>“.
\nWhat we didn’t mention in this paper are more complicated statistics like stochastic record linkage – more on that in RJournal 2\/2010, p.61 ff<\/a><\/p>\n
