Phil Zimmerman on Moore’s Law

August 20, 2004 | Quote of the Day | By: Mark VandeWettering

I think the biggest threat to privacy is Moore’s law. The human population does not double every eighteen months but the ability to keep track of us does. This may be a prescription for an omniscient government. Democracy never had to face an all-knowing government. I don’t know how we’re going to get through that.
