on just this topic. Actually his ideas are an outcome of our GNU Hackers Meating back in November. It is a call to think about extending the GNU project into the connected world where the boundaries between machines are vanishing and a computer user does not anymore know where his private data is stored or made available.

A computer user shall not only be in control of his box but also in control of his data – the user is the only one to decide which data shall be published, given only to friends or kept private.
