From the NSA and Snowden to Rape accusations on Facebook, we have (not will, have) entered a world where the old assumptions about secrecy, privacy have fallen away - like a Victorian London Fog blowing away to reveal everyone naked and wondering what to do now others can see.

We really have no landmarks in this new world - whilst I applaud attempts to put the NSA back under the constitution, they are merely a surprising symptom not a cause - everything we do in the digital world is now available for everyone everywhere and when to search.

We need laws, and more importantly cultural norms to deal with this.

I have no idea if rape occurred in this case all those years ago - but I do know that this will cease to be news when it becomes commonplace.

It is a new world, and we must be brave to find the promised land without drowning in the mess that will throw it forth.
