The MIT Media Lab has unleashed their version of TIA, and stood it on it's head (via Wired). Instead of gathering information on citizens, the Government Information Awareness site gathers and tracks information on government officials. From the GIA site:
In the United States, there is a widening gap between a citizen's ability to monitor his or her government and the government's ability to monitor a citizen. [...] If we believe the United States should be a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" it is of central importance to provide citizens with the power to oversee their government.Sounds like a noble cause to me, and a good way to feed those people in power their own medicine.
