Safekeeping information -- video, photographs, documents -- will become even tougher with the emergence of additional "Web 2.0" services designed for users to easily share data. Society may have good reasons -- such as privacy, security or taste -- for wanting to keep the lid on some types of information, but it only takes one individual to overrule that desire. "There are more and more ways to distribute information, but very few new approaches to keeping information secret," said Steven Aftergood, senior research analyst at the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy. "Paradoxically, the attempt to suppress information often tends to draw greater attention to it, so a government agency or an unhappy celebrity or anyone else may decide that challenging disclosure is counterproductive."
