Project will fight intrusive surveillance


Security experts including Bruce Schneier and Whitfield Diffie are teaming up with privacy advocates to form a new privacy group that aims to champion privacy against the growing tide of intrusive government surveillance.


The project, Code Red, is due to begin in January with the aim of becoming a "strategic think tank and campaign clearinghouse to provide new resources and tactical advice to human rights groups across the world". The project reflect concerns that that government surveillance and intrusion has escalated – despite the national security disclosures by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
