I think civil liberties issues are some of the most important things we can be discussing. The hacker idea involves bending rules of all sorts, and to do that involves understanding those rules and how the game is played. Furthering the appropriateness of having the discussion here is the fact that other venus are more appropriate to other aspects of hacker culture, and the dearth of content available otherwise. (We have github or twitter for technical discussion, and success stories and productivity articles are essentially naval-gazing)
