Salon is reporting that D. Reed Freeman, so-called “Chief Privacy Officer” of Claria Networks, has been appointed to the Department of Homeland Security’s Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee.
The story was quickly picked up by Slashdot , where one commenter wrote “In other news, Dr. Jack Kevorkian has been appointed National Director of Health and Human Services…”
The comparison couldn’t be more apt.
Sure, pick a businessperson whose company has abused privacy grotesquely to advise on national privacy rights…. It’s the ultimate Neocon logic: Business can do no wrong.]]>
