[CivicAccess-discuss] naked transparency

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

Sorry but these two links provide some great debates about naked
transparency:

On connecting the dots – a response to Lessig on
transparency<http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2009/10/12/on-connecting-the-dots-a-response-to-lessig-on-transparency/>
and these bits

The conversation about Lessig’s “Against Transparency” article is proving to
be a lively one. New Republic has published four responses – pushbacks from
David Weinberger<http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/tnr-debate-too-much-transparency-part-iv>,
which I read in draft and which helped shape my thinking, and from
Sunlight’s founders<http://www.tnr.com/article/tnr-debate-too-much-transparency-part-ii>.
The other two are from Jeffrey
Rosen<http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/tnr-debate-too-much-transparency-part-iii>,
who sees a role for the courts in mediating between secrecy and disclosure,
and Tim Wu<http://www.tnr.com/article/tnr-debate-too-much-transparency-part-i>,
who argues that the system’s too screwed up for transparency to help, and
that the key is better leadership. Good, provocative stuff. Hope that Lessig
will address some of Ellen, Michael and David’s pushbacks at some point
soon.
