Dylan on NPR!!
20 01 2006They say everyone gets their 15 seconds of fame, I just got my 1:45! 
A good episode of OnPoint talking about Internet Censorship and Surveillance, including whether Search Engines were colluding with repressive governments by filtering results in China, Iran and others, (including France! 
). The discussion started to turn a little dark toward the Search Engines being active and willing participants in such repression, so I called in and hit them up for the right answer, given the practices of even our own government post-9/11, (where any search engine can be subpoenaed covertly for query logs on anyone / everyone, and you’re not even allowed to disclose that such a request was made).
Didn’t get one, of course, (unfortunately, short of some kind of supranational authority to preserve the ideals we have, but which other countries definitely do not share, I don’t know what that answer could be - I _really_ wish that I did).
Anyway, pull up the broadcast, go to 36:01, and you’ll hear “we have a call from Dylan in Northborough” - guess what - that’s me!!!! Yeah!
Wonder what would be the outcome of the tussle between Google and the Feds; two goliaths challenging each other. Google has nerves. We will find out if the Feds exceeded their constitutional authority.
Very cool Dylan. You sound like quite the expert.
Very well done Dylan!
And, great comment Kishore
I think this is an important issue but is it going to affect the average American in the short term? If not, change is going to be difficult.
Great comment Kishore.
