some of you on aut-op-sy probably saw this. but andy on there makes a noteworthy point:
"This obviously puts at risk the confidentiality of sources and broader issues of academic freedom. If this was extended to people working on radical political movements, mobilisations (such as summit protests), or doing fieldwork on politics in other countries, it could leave participants who cooperate with academics extremely at risk, which in turn puts academics at risk either of violence or of being denied access to do research in the first place. I wonder what measures can be taken by people doing direct fieldwork to avoid compromising their respondents - perhaps to keep all notes under deniable encryption and hand over only suitably sanitised versions?"
Quoted: Counter terrorism police have won the right to force the author of a new book about terrorism to hand over his research.
