Eli Pariser on Data - Dictionary of Arguments

I 50
Data/Internet/Pariser: For example, when the authorities published the names of the assassins a few days after the 9/11 attack, the private Internet company Acxiom came out with data on eleven of the nineteen kidnappers, including their previous and current addresses and the names of their flatmates. That is more than all the security agencies put together were able to do. (1)
