Ask HN: Where do we discuss the mass surveillance problem?

7 pointsby northwestalmost 12 years ago
What are the currently available hubs&#x2F;places on the Web to:<p>1. <i>publish</i> all issues about mass surveillance,<p>2. submit <i>proposals for solutions</i> (and fragments thereof) to the problem,<p>3. up&#x2F;downvote the issues, comments and proposals?<p>The idea is to have 1 place on the web which is not limited to technological questions and most of all where the <i>entire process</i> is respected:<p>Breaking <i>news</i> -&gt; Turns into <i>outrage</i> -&gt; To be turned into <i>activity</i> -&gt; Ultimately <i>solves the problem</i>.<p>(If we stop after the 2nd step and accept to remain victims, every revelation was in vain; resulting depressed moods will make people resolve to turning a blind eye to the issue at stake.)<p>The Western World may be about to become a &quot;castrated democracy&quot; and this problem is so important that it needs an all-including central hub.<p>Where is it? If it doesn&#x27;t exist yet:<p>Where are parts of it?<p>Where could it be in the future?<p>Are you interested in building (or contributing to) something like this?

Also, if there is 1 hub to represent everything that&#x27;s going on (be that protests or online activities),<p>- there will be reinforcing spill-over effects from every activity to the other ones<p>- the media can more easily refer the all activities (since they&#x27;re easily accessible in 1 place)<p>- the movement will gain more visibility and credibility<p>- the movement will grow quicker

If you know people at some organization which could become the sponsor of such a project, please let them know that there are interested developers out there!
