I came across this fascinating report concerning privacy protections in countries across the world. The report, conducted by a UK privacy advocacy group called Privacy International, ranks the U.K. as a "surveillance society" and the United States as an "extensive surveillance society." I realize that a discussion of privacy protection is only tangentially related to subjects covered in the FFA, but I couldn't help posting this. Simply fascinating stuff. As an aside, and it probably comes as no surprise to FFA students, Germany ranks near the top when it comes to privacy protection. But that may soon be changing.
