Michael from the UK Open Rights Group sez,

- What MPs are doing about Digital Economy Act (Tom Watson, Eric Joyce, Julian Huppert)
- What does the 'Right to Data' mean? (Heather Brooke, Rufus Pollock)
- Opening up the Data Protection Directive: Can of Worms or Opportunity (Privacy International)

ORGCon: July 24 (Thanks, Michael!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
