- Privacy Digest is an Internet mailing list that is dedicated to the
- discussion of how technology impacts privacy. This list is gatewayed
- into the moderated USENET newsgroup comp.society.privacy. In lot of

- the risks of technology on privacy. The charter is:
-
- comp.society.privacy Effects of technology on privacy (Moderated)

- This newsgroup is to provide a forum for discussion on the effect of
