And these are the kinds of incidents that we are experiencing. An individual will access pornography, or something that someone else may find to be offensive, and then send it to their electronic mail or dump it into their class account so that people are unwittingly exposed without making any decisions that they wis h to access that material. Their rights to make an access decision are taken away by the person who exercised their right to access it. The material is dumped on a common printer, so you go to pick up your material, you have to be exposed to the material that someone else accessed while they sit back and watch their intrusive act on your behavior. I think it's important for us to keep these two issues separate.
Access is a really important one when it comes to censorship or non-censorship.
But equally important is the issue of my rights to make a decision about my work and personal space. And th at's an empowerment, an issue of limiting the intrusiveness of both the technology and other individuals on me.
