The Prism scandal has revealed that the NSA acting in complicity with private corporations has been given free reign to trample people’s right to privacy, even in Europe. With democratic institutions failing to protect us, only whistleblowers are left to hold the spies to account.
The Czech Republic was targeted in a string of cyber attacks last week. Why? As a small country with a relatively developed Internet infrastructure, it is an ideal testing ground for hackers who are planning to hunt for bigger prey, says an Internet expert.
After Estonia's efforts to push its government administration online, the country now plans to assign a digital identity to all its citizens. The goal? To help cement ties with business talent – both Estonians abroad and foreign expatriates with links to the east European nation.
He’s regarded as one of the meanest Germans in the cybersphere: Martin Münch supplies police and secret services with spyware, which some dictators use to terrorize dissidents.

The EU plan to pass an internet privacy law enshrining the “right to disappear” online will dramatically affect how companies like Facebook conduct business, and raises questions about freedom of expression on the web.
