UN Committee Approves Resolution Protecting Internet Privacy

In the face of government surveillance

The U.N. General Assembly's human rights committee on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution protecting the right to privacy against unlawful surveillance in the digital age.

The resolution was sponsored by Brazil and Germany, whose leaders have allegedly been targeted by U.S. intelligence agencies.

The new resolution seeks to extend personal privacy rights to all people after reports of massive global eavesdropping by the U.S. National Security Agency.

The best way to get internet privacy is to use privacy-base sites such as DuckDuckGo, Ravetree, HushMail, etc. Don't believe the propaganda put out by google and facebook that privacy is dead. That's just what they want you to think. We should all take charge and promote websites that actually have privacy.
