Thanks for the link. The original post is unreadable on my Android tablet as you can't zoom. Other comments here mention the threat to the first ammendment, I find the one about the 4th as relevant to today: The fourth amendment protects the per- sons, houses, papers, and effects of in- dividuals against unreasonable searches and seizures by the Federal Government. ● Fourth amendment issues may develop from: —the use of personal and statistical data contained in automated informa- tion systems as a justification for search and seizure; —the search and seizure of information per se as personal property, particular- ly in electronic form; and —the use of automated information sys- tems as a tool for search and seizure operations. All the other issues are depressing, the 6th amendment issue is that computer models could be used to predict juror behaviors. What is described as a threat to constitutional rights is depicted as cool in the current TV show "Bull" That's a very thorough report overall, it evens mentions the issue with software patents: The concern that continuing uncertainty about copyright and patent protection for computer software is significantly im- pairing software R&D and innovation.
