Susan A. Kitchens On Clinton and Privacy
From Susan A. Kitchens, susan@auntialias.com:The other day, as I was perusing all the "Chelsea moves in to Stanford" stories that have been surrounding the event, one thing caught my eye -- a statment that Bill Clinton, Chelsea's dad, has been promising to figure out how to use email to correspond with her.
I hope he does.
Naturally, in the wake of the debate on privacy and paparazzi with the death of the Princess of Wales, and the implication for the normal upbringing and college education of a daughter of note, I can see it happen this way:
Mr. Clinton figures out how to send email to his daughter. Someone starts packet-sniffing for the correspondence. Letters from Dad end up being front page news. Mr. Clinton gets encryption religion.
