A Cypherpunk's Manifesto
by Eric Hughes
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't
want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one
doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively
reveal oneself to the world.
If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of
their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of
this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it,
but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to
an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many
parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the
others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other
parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such
group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it
to.
