Everyone wants customization, and if the owner of a phone, just as the owner of a PC would, prefers a different OS than factory, customized OS, etc., they should be able to work on that OS. Obviously, computer abuse is computer abuse--and, illegal--but customization is key in a market wherein the customer is king. #unlock   #iplaw   #ip

Earlier this week, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) issued a massive report about the legally and technologically complicated government surveillance program operating under section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. 

Prior to the report CIS Director of Civil Liberties, Jennifer Granick, identified eight basic, but important, questions she thought the public should know about section 702 surveillance. 

Were these questions answered in the report? Read Granick’s newest Just Security blog post to find out: http://stanford.io/1kjapyu
