P. 42
Is privacy versus security a false choice?
Maybe it goes without saying that Snowden represents one extreme in the debate between privacy
and security. One former special counsel for President Bill Clinton wrote in The Daily Caller that
abalance of the two remains possible.
"We should not allow Edward Snowden," wrote Lanny Davis, "who preaches privacy rights to us
from Russia (not exactly a safe haven for privacy rights), or anyone else persuade us to accept the
fallacy of the false choice:
We need and can have protection of privacy rights and personal and national security."
Cybersecurity pros should consider giving the full interview between Snowden and Lee a read. If
nothing else, it provides a fascinating window into the nerdy details of the online and offline lives
envisioned by one of the world's most polarizing figures.
