[Pirate Party] Rick Falkvinge has concluded his 21-post series on analog-equivalent privacy rights. Almost everything that was taken for granted by previous generations regarding privacy has been completely eliminated for the young generations coming up. The series of posts discusses how essential civil liberties have suffered catastrophic erosion in the world's transition to online, digital interaction.

It's going to be a long uphill battle to win back the liberties that were slowly won by our ancestors over about six generations, and which have been all but abolished in a decade.

It's not rocket science that our children should have at least the same set of civil liberties in their digital environment, as our parents had in their analog environment. And yet, this is not happening.

Our children are right to demand Analog Equivalent Privacy Rights — the civil liberties our parents not just enjoyed, but took for granted.

Below the fold are all 21 posts from the last few months:

    He's still right how ever angry you might be. And it's a very meaningful distinction.
