Talk:Privacy

--Jack Richins 22:06, 19 Oct 2004 (PDT) I think 4. is quite interesting. It seems when ever you create an account on any web site, with any service (on the web and off), you are sacrificing privacy. Even when offline, you get a hair cut, make a purchase at a store, and they ask for your phone number or zip code. This information goes into a database. What if we could have DRM for our private information? What if we could enforce that they could have our phone number, but couldn't share it with anyone else. And we didn't have to trust the store - either the system would enforce it or we could at least verify who broke their promise if our information got leaked and we could prosecute under either contract law or privacy law.

[Tolba] I believe idea 3 is quite interesting. It would be useful to figure out the impact of Anonymizers in obscuring the internet traffic of suspicious groups. This could lead to exploring both technical and non-technical measures of breaking the cycle.
