Weakness of government protections – and prevalence of corporate complicity in government violations...2. The fast-changing nature of technology, and of human rights risks...3. The importance of technology to the human rights movement as a whole. [Refers to Amesys (part of Bull), AOL, Facebook, Twitter, Vodafone, Yahoo!]
