Debate on Privacy Goes Private
In the debate about new surveillance powers for law enforcement officials,
Americans, in various ways, are asking a basic question: Are we willing to
curtail personal freedom in exchange for greater national security? Now, a
debate heating up in Washington puts a twist on the query: Are we willing
to curtail access to information in exchange for cybersecurity?

Dear Barbara:

The website for the "P3P Viewpoints" project is now available via
http://www.p3p-viewpoints.org/

This website attempts to give a comprehensive, objective overview of P3P's
pros and cons in addition to information about privacy.  The general
format of this website is an exact citation (literally a copy/paste)
followed by the source's website.  I chose this format in adherence to my
goal: help readers make an informed judgment on the value of P3P by
providing them with facts and various viewpoints that speak for themselves
(without any interpretation or assistance from us).  The format also
serves as a quick reference while at the same time provides readers with
an easy way to get more information.

Please note that this website is subject to change.  That is, I will make
updates and additions upon finding or receiving new information.

Thank you kindly for your time.

Sincerely,
Ruchika
