Oeuvre
Earlier, he won three awards for breach of privacy. “Although the minister an award more than deserves, we do not know what he will do in the future. We want the public does not deprive the chance to vote on it again next year,” says organizer Bits of Freedom in a comment.
Commenting allows the Ministry of Security know that it has been good with privacy in the Netherlands because the Big Brother Awards is awarded repeatedly to Opstelten. Thereby Opstelten states that “dangers of cyber crime, child pornography and jihadism” must be continuously controlled.
Schools
