It describes the technical and organisational measures that organisations should have in place, but it’s densely written and uses unfamiliar terms: Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as we

Remember the anti-piracy campaign from years back about "You Wouldn't Steal a Car"? This was the rather sensationalist piece put together by the Motion Picture Association of America in an attempt to draw parallels between digital piracy and what they viewed as IRL ("In Real Life") equivalents. Here's a quick recap: The very premise that the young girl sitting in her bedroom in the opening scene is in any way relatable to the guy in the dark alley sliding a slim jim down the Merc

Today, we conduct our elections on computers.
