		<description>Agreed. It&#039;s ironic that one of the best ways to protect your privacy is to pirate instead of buying. 

If you *have* got something to hide, and act accordingly, you have nothing to fear.</description>

		<description>First off, I have used the same online alias since AOL 3.0.  But now since I have been cross connected with employees and personal contacts on sites like Facebook, I am only hiding from unknown viewers of my profile. I feel secure enough with that. 

When it comes to your private life and your public life, it reminds me of some guidence i had when I was younger at one of those Leadership camps. they said if you do things in your private life that you can be proud of, then you have nothing to hide in public. Your boss being politically opposite should be something you can share openly. If you can&#039;t then you are probably not in a good environment to begin with. If you are gay and not out at work, maybe you should be. People should be accountable for what they believe in, if it offends them or not. I think it is better to know the bigots from the non-bigots, then to think there are none. At least then you can agree to disagree and stop pretending you&#039;re on the same page. (I preach) Love yourself for who you are not and others will follow your example.</description>

		<description>Interesting post, i think it highlights some of the issues... but there are alternatives.  

for instance -- drop.io, our company, takes a totally different approach to the privacy question, attempting to make it simple and accessible.  As much our thesis is about being a simple private data-sharing app, it is also about Foucault and how to avoid the dismal internet-as-panopticon tendency we face.

while stronger passwords, etc are nice - those don&#039;t actually solve the longterm problem.  Security IS a war of attrition.

Privacy, however, can and does take other forms.  By focusing on transmitting only necessary data, ditching metadata, and moving away from identity centric/search/social applications we can go a long long way to building and leveraging great apps without sacrificing privacy.

I totally agree that people are right now forced to trade privacy for utility, but that is more symptomatic of a monolithic approach to app development -- there are other ways...

and just wait until we and many others start getting aggressive about misinformation :) -- http://drop.io/swl goes deep on that one</description>

		<description>Price Waterhouse Cooper and Carnegie-Mellon’s CyLab have recent surveys that show the senior executive class to be, basically, clueless regarding IT risk and its tie to overall enterprise (business) risk.  Data breaches and thefts are due to a lagging business culture – absent a new eCulture, breaches will, and continue to, increase.   As CIO, I look for ways to help my business and IT teams further their education.   Check your local library:  A book that is required reading is &quot;I.T. WARS:  Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium.&quot;  It also helps outside agencies understand your values and practices.
The author, David Scott, has an interview that is a great exposure:  www dot businessforum dot com/DScott_02 dot html -  
The book came to us as a tip from an intern who attended a course at University of Wisconsin, where the book is an MBA text.  It has helped us to understand that, while various systems of security are important, no system can overcome laxity, ignorance, or deliberate intent to harm. Necessary is a sustained culture and awareness; an efficient prism through which every activity is viewed from a security perspective prior to action.  
In the realm of risk, unmanaged possibilities become probabilities – read the book BEFORE you suffer a bad outcome.</description>

		<description>Yep, since I give presentations about technology safety, just as a test, I did the following with some very tech-savvy individuals:

1. Became Facebook friend
2. Subscribed to their Twitter account
3. Checked out their Flickr account
4. Used whitepages.com to find their home address
4. Google Mapped directions to their home

Heck, these folks make it so easy. All the links are right on their page.

Now, think how many creeps are online doing the same thing.

Oh yeah, another interesting item. If you do email correspondence with someone on Craigslist, Facebook will be very happy to identify them for you. Ah, ain&#039;t technology grand?</description>

		<description>I predict that in time two things will converge:

1) Kids will get savvier about what they share.

2) Employers won&#039;t care as much.

Regarding #2, we all know that nobody is perfect.  I think the culture of a prim and proper workplace being completely separate from our &#039;real&#039; selves will diminish with time.  When we see a picture of someone holding a beer or otherwise letting loose a bit, we&#039;ll just say, &quot;Yeah, we all do that once in a while.&quot;

It won&#039;t help with extreme cases, but I think the usual &#039;college&#039; pictures won&#039;t haunt this generation quite like it may have with the Boomers and Gen-X.</description>

<p>1) Kids will get savvier about what they share.</p>
<p>2) Employers won&#8217;t care as much.</p>

		<description>Funny you mention the digital ID - that&#039;s a bag of worms!

In one regard it&#039;s great.  We can own our info in a centralized place, control access, identify stalkers and e-bullys if needed, etc...

On the other hand, forcing people to identify themselves online takes away net freedoms to some degree.  Things like piracy and porn will probably suffer quite a bit, but even more mundane things like jobseeking and whatnot could be affected.

Or, if the digital ID is compromised, it could potentially be on par with real life identity theft...all because someone chose a weak password or something.  Scary.

It&#039;s a tough one to sort out...</description>

		<description>One of the bigger privacy threats out there are not actually identity thieves but the state and big multinationals who will force to give up your personal data to get basic services.</description>

		<description>Sapphire: I think lots of people do that on bulletin boards and forums.  But how is that really possible on LinkedIn or Facebook?  

And what happens when you personally use Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. and then your company begins to push their employees to use social media at work (as part of their jobs)?  Now you&#039;re being forced to mesh professional and personally -- and that can be awkward and even fatal to your career.

For example: What if you&#039;re gay and not out of the closet at work - yet it&#039;s obvious from your Facebook profile?

What if you support all kinds of liberal/green organizations with buttons, widgets, etc. and your boss in a die-hard, angry Republican who hates liberals?

I could go on and on.  Privacy is a very delicate and once its gone -- its gone.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s just sad how many pathetic people post their entire lives on the Internet just to get a moment of attention from a few people they don&#039;t even really know.  I just didn&#039;t realize how many people are so insecure they need constant feedback from anyone willing to give them a minute or two of time.</description>

		<description>The potential of fortune waiting in the nebulous wings which will come pouring from the skies based on significant effort applied to my personal brand means absolutely nothing to me. 

I never post one single word online with my actual name. I won&#039;t blog with my actual name. I have much going on online- you&#039;ll just never know who runs it, does it and produces it.

If I fail because I prefer my personal privacy over good fortune then I do so with complete and utterly satisfaction. Particularly since shiny cars, big houses and elitism also mean absolutely nothing to me.</description>
