Interesting to see point 3 of the "Resolution' in 1969. "We oppose the establishment of mass data banks which pose a threat to our privacy and concentrate power in the hands of a few."

Super interesting to see the 1973 issue featured a database of concentrations of power. From what I can tell, successive projects like Sunlight Foundation came on with such vigour, but these projects have such little mainstream impact, instead all these tools get turned against individuals.

&gt; the group originated as “Computer Professionals for Peace”; in October 1970 “Professionals” was replaced with “People” because members “felt that the ‘Professional’ label limited the potential scope of the group and smacked of elitism.”<p>What?

I think every reasonable person should be &quot;for Peace&quot;. But not for peace at any cost.
