The Atlantic Wire – In Paris, today, French president Nicolas Sarkozy rubbed shoulders with tech industry superstars, including Eric Schmidt and Mark Zuckerberg, for the inaugural eG-8 meeting. The two-day event intends to prime the conversation at the Group of Eight summit set to take place later this week in Normandy. Sarkozy took a hard line in urging governments to better regulate the internet. “Don’t let the revolution that you’ve begun threaten everyone’s basic right to a private life and full autonomy,” he told the conferences attendees. “Full transparency… sooner or later runs into the very principle of individual freedom.”
