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.
