The challenges of a Digital World to our Security and Liberty \u2013 Yvette Cooper speech to Demos<\/a><\/h3>\n

This source is labeled check against delivery.<\/p>\n

Yvette Cooper speech to Demos in March 2014 here<\/a>, from Labour Press’ tumblr account.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. does she mention court secrecy? No.<\/li>\n
  2. she doesn’t address the potential need for two agencies one for spying and one for defending UK cyberspace<\/li>\n
  3. no mention of copyright crime which is good, most people will allow greater compromises in privacy to prosecute and prevent terrorism and child abuse, and they’d put their bank accounts before the copyright holders interests.<\/li>\n
  4. No mention of the fact that the NSA and thus the US Government are a threat to ecommerce<\/li>\n
  5. No mention of national security of supply<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    it’s clearly aimed at fighting terrorism, child abuse and defending the ecommerce infrastructure<\/p>\n

    At the same time the Prime Minister has also said that GCHQ and the NSA can do more to tackle child pornography on the dark net, to \u201cdecrypt encrypted files, and\u2026 find out what is going on\u201d. A new strategy is needed to make sure the fight against online child abuse can keep up with new technology \u2013 including looking at the legal framework, resources, structures and the role for the private sector and internet service providers to do more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Cameron’s been watching CSIcyber again, but Yvette’s response is reasoned<\/p>\n

    The summary reseats the speech in the legal powers and supervison policy domain.<\/p>\n

    I rather like this,<\/p>\n

    The digital age generates every second new and amazing opportunities that we should seize. But we cannot duck our responsibilities to face up to the difficult challenges it poses too \u2013 to make sure that the digital age serves the public and our democracy, and not the other way round.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    What I plan to say on the Euro Husting blog article, which picks up the press articles, Guardian and Register<\/p>\n

    \n

    … pointed to Yvette Cooper’s speech to Demos on the balance between security and privacy in the internet age. I have to say, I missed this when it was reported by the Guardian<\/a>, and would have been unsurprised by the Register’s hostile headline<\/a> but we can read the speech for ourselves here<\/a>. Id’ say it’s better than its critics suggest; there’s a growing consensus that RIPA gets it wrong and the recognition that privacy is part of the balance is a better position than the Tories and spies take and that many had expected from the Labour Front bench.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
