While in the information age, we're probably only maintaining limited forms of Free Speech (vis-a-vis the First Amendment), we're probably also giving up a lot of our Rights to Privacy (in the U.S. and elsewhere) ... https://www.aclu.org/technology-and-liberty/your-right-privacy (I've added this to the Law, wiki subject at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Law) ... through curious (and bad and wrong and immoral) cultural practices of spying on each other, by those that have access to technologies of eavesdropping, whether they are the NSA (National Security Administration), other US government agencies, foreign governments, specific, cultural identities (British?), or Internet Service Providers ... Even with sound laws, people may well ignore them, because they like, or want, or feel compelled, or are paid, to spy (based on crazy reasoning, often cultural or societal ... e.g. reasoning for the wrongdoing of spying with information technologies in India would be very different than in the U.S.).

As human primates in modernity and the information age, I wonder how privacy infringement might lessen significantly due not only to good law, but also to heart and mind sociocultural practices where spooks don't feel the need to spy.

I wonder if the online WUaS Law School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Law_School - planned for each of all countries (242+), might also be able to inform an ethos, country by country, where law breaking by spying on fellow citizens does not occur, and where our privacy increases in the information age.

How to manage the effects of the information technologies in the Network Society, culturally and for the benefit of the people, and when the law in any specific country isn't effective?

Not sure what the best approach for the individual (agency), with digital technologies, is to protect oneself from sad, unethical spying spooks, (given human drama, the role of the state and capitalism, it can be really hard to spy compassionately) but language might be approach ...

Like the law, some individuals, and cultural identities, read and respect language, (in addition to the law), in this time of great change with information technologies and the spookiness of spying ...
