It now appears that the Tastes, Ties and Times dataset has been identified. According to privacy scholar Michael Zimmer, the dataset of Facebook profiles is from Harvard College. In my original post on the matter, I discussed how fingerprints of friend networks could be used to identify the dataset. It did not require such complicated measures.

Importantly, now that the dataset is identified, it would be trivial to run a network comparison and produce probability estimates of the individuals in the anonymized set. More →

A 30ft Roman catapult, loaded with chicken droppings from a nearby farm is primed each evening. And a cannon, which Mr Weston-Webb once used to shoot his wife across the River Avon, will fire a railway sleeper if triggered by an intruder. More →

The Justice Department's inspector general revealed on March 9 that the FBI has been systematically abusing one of the most controversial provisions of the USA Patriot Act: the expanded power to issue "national security letters." It no doubt surprised most Americans to learn that between 2003 and 2005 the FBI issued more than 140,000 specific demands under this provision -- demands issued without a showing of probable cause or prior judicial approval -- to obtain potentially sensitive information about U.S. citizens and residents.
