Hmmmm. I believe we won’t see a big “privacy” movement until there’s some emotionally wrenching tragic event, could be a sensational murder, child abuse or it could be some sorta act of terrorism. Someday, tomorrow, next week or next year, something will rock the public perception of social media from social and fun to sitting duck and dangerous.

When it does, there will be a screaming public outcry, politicians will leverage the tragedy to spark publicity and enhance their political polish and on-line leaders will police themselves to insure continued growth, ad sales, etc.

In the mean time, there’s too much money to me made mining the data, voluntary protections aren’t likely. Most civilians aren’t aware of the pitfalls and negative possibilities.

Also as you’ve stated, while we can’t opt-out today, we don’t need to broadcast unwisely.

I predict we’ll see this issue before the supreme court in the next year or two in one fashion or another.

It really is hard to seperate the two. If we live online, at what point do we close the blinds, and do we have that option? Not really.

Professional accounts, it’s no matter. What were really talking about here is consumer protection. We currently have more protections on our cell phones than on our own names as online identifiers. New media spaces can do more to offer consumers the ability to opt out or opt in of directory scraping.

Well I had a fraud alert on my business card. They said they presented it in person. NO way I only have one and it is with me all the time. The purchases were from Canada and I haven’t been there is years.
So it freaked me out and you start to ask how did this happen?
Well gosh darn I’m only all over the internet. So far nothing else has happened.

P.S. I like EFF they do a good job.

Hey Thomas, humble question for you, what does “Information want to be free” really mean? Can you give context to that? I hear it all the time, but honestly, I don’t think it means anything, I think they’re just a group of words google made up? Seriously!
