Listening to the BBC's Digital Planet programme online. Many of you might be interested in the first story this week, about Project Loca.

A work of art, in which people receive messages on their mobile phones from anonymous sources who seem to have been monitoring their movements, has been criticised.

Project Loca has come under fire for possibly doing the very thing it warns against - infringing civil liberties.

The story continues Digital Planet's discussion about the degree to which our lives have come under surveillance.

Artist Drew Hemmet draws attention to the trail unwittingly left by mobile phone conversations and explains why he thinks his work should be exempt from certain privacy laws.

Liberty's Shami Chakrabarti, meanwhile, sets out some of her concerns and criticisms about such projects.

The other stories are somewhat sex-related, which also might be of interest to many of you. Well, nominally about sex--about the domain name sex.com in one story.
