Declan McCullagh’s “Database Nation” in Reason magazine

conservator writes “James DeLong at the IPCentral Blog writes that he got a shock when he received his copy of the June issue of Reason magazine in the mail, because the cover featured an aerial photograph of his neighborhood, with his house circled in red and the words ‘James DeLong: They Know Where You Are!’ in large type below it. The issue (which is not yet available for purchase) contains Declan McCullagh’s article ‘Database Nation: The upside of “zero privacy.”‘ DeLong says that McCullagh’s thesis is that the increasing availability of data is ‘excellent news for all of us in many ways, primarily because of the increases in efficiency and choice in the provision of goods and services that are enabled by information.'”
