Government Secrecy
1: how can the president claim to be open about secrets yet Clinton would prefer to have secrets?
2: do you trust the current administration with our national security?
3: do you think WiliLeaks did more harm then good?
Government Secrecy
In this article it is said Obama is not one to keep in secrets, in the last article it said Secretary Clinton is pro-secrey. How do you think this dynamic plays out?
why would not knowing secrets be better?
Isn't it our job as Americans to put checks on our powers? Thus making the internet's issue of control never a problem?

Govt Secrecy
ONE: How and where does Jillian Assange get all these documents from? You would think the government would have tighter control of these.
TWO: What if the government kept all of the national "secrets" written down on paper and kept them them somewhere where only few people knew. Now no one would be able to hack the documents and display them to the world.
THREE: As someone in the military, you would think they would know not to give away disclosed information. I don't understand why Bradley Manning thought it would be okay to turn his back on the government like he did.

Questions about "Visible Man"
Peter Singer identifies with the beliefs of utilitarianism. In the simplest explanation, this means that he advocates for the greatest good for the greatest number of people. How do we see this belief in his article? How does this align with what he is arguing for in his article?
In class, we have kind of agreed that in Singer's piece there is tension between privacy vs. openness. Initially, we thought this was a question for the individual. Then we said that this was a question "in general." Who is included in this "in general?" What is the scope of Singer's push for openness?
Singer quotes a lot from Assange. How closely can we (and should we) attribute this to Singer's aligning himself with Assange? If Singer is utilitarian, does this mean Assange is utilitarian too? How compatible are their motives for advocating for greater openness?

Is Privacy Subjective (Visible Man)
Is the concept of Privacy very subjective? I mean we do not want anyone knowing our guilty pleasure, however almost everyone in the class has a facebook?
Does more knowledge really equal a greater understanding? How can you tell the difference between information and misinformation?
The end of the article it says "The way we answer the question will depend on whether or not we share Assange's belief that decision making leads to better outcomes when based on truth than when based on lies and ignorance." Can anyone make an argument for making decisions based upon ignorance?
