2011 was a big year where issues of political power were concerned. The #Occupy movement made a great deal of noise the past few months. Finally, there was lots of discussion about Citizens United and corporate personhood, and the “99%” began asserting its anger. There was l’affaire WikiLeaks and the ongoing Julian Assange and Bradley Manning battles, with Anonymous getting involved a bit, as well. The “who owns the Internet?” question is far from settled. In addition, AT&T was forced this week to abandon its attempt to further consolidate its domination of the mobile industry. And so on.

If you’ve been paying attention at all, you’ve probably been alarmed by the ongoing assault on your privacy. If you haven’t been paying very close attention, though, things are likely worse than you imagined. Thankfully, Shaun Dakin and Jon Pincus over at PrivacyCamp have pulled together a brief catalogue of 2011’s top privacy stories.

Give it a look.
