The chilling effect Peter Thiel’s battle with Gawker could have on Silicon Valley journalism

Gawker infringes on privacy and publishes tabloid-like stories that damage reputations. It is one of the most sensationalist and objectionable media outlets in the country.

The Apple FBI Battle: Laws and Ethics Simply Can’t Keep Up With Technology

The Apple FBI Battle: Laws and Ethics Simply Can’t Keep Up With Technology
by Vivek Wadhwa on 03-22-2016 at 8:00 pm
Categories: Security

The battle between the FBI and Apple over the unlocking of a terrorist’s iPhone will likely require Congress to create new legislation. That’s because there really aren’t any existing laws which encompass technologies such as these. The battle is between security and privacy, with Silicon Valley fighting for privacy. The debates… Read More
