Bruce Schneier, Chief Security Technology Officer for BT, has a good article in Forbes on Google And Facebook’s Privacy Illusion.
The commentary is good and something I strongly agree with. If I can effectively sum up some of his points:
- Young people care about privacy.
- To them privacy is about control.
- Big companies like Google and Facebook have a vested interest in you surrendering some of that control, and so they take steps to make it easier for you to give up that control.
Before you read another “privacy is dead” article, read Bruce’s first/instead.
