Wyoming nominated for anti-progress 2015 Luddite Award for data trespass law
January 3, 2016 /
Wyoming has been nominated for a tongue-in-cheek award because of new state laws that penalize data collection on open land.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a research and educational group, announced the state is one of 10 nominees for the 2015 Luddite Award. The organization believes Wyoming’s laws effectively outlaw citizen science and halt progress.
The term "Luddite" stems from Ned Ludd, a 19th-century English politician who led a movement that fought the automation of factories.
