i am not all that worried about privacy.<\/p>\n
stuff that is really really private i would not put onto these internets, anyway.<\/p>\n
i would send it encrypted, or write a letter – ink and all that.<\/p>\n
so most of what i put out there<\/p>\n
is meant to be public in some form.<\/p>\n
and to some extent i would even agree with mark zuckerbergs opinion that the clear line between professional self, social self, private self and all those other selves is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
maintaining different selves and borders between them i find much to cumbersome and time consuming as a task.<\/p>\n
i have no right to claim that for others than myself, though –<\/p>\n
so my own take on privacy has to fully respect that privacy is<\/strong> the central issue for others.<\/p>\n Dan Yoder writes in http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5530178\/top-ten-reasons-you-should-quit-facebook<\/a> :<\/p>\n “Essentially, this means Facebook not only wants to know everything about you, and own that data, but to make it available to everybody.”<\/p>\n The part i dislike is not the “make it available” part – it s the ownership part: “Facebook … wants to know everything about you” – and sell it.<\/p>\n It s more or less their only business model. All other models are derived from that.<\/p>\n A platform that has become a de facto standard, even for public service and employment processes, should really be run or managed by a people’s parliament, or at least some kind of public-private partnership. The UN, even?<\/p>\n So, while i dont worry about privacy that much, i dont want all our publicprivate<\/em> data to be zucked up, collected and sold by one (or any small number) of private companies.<\/p>\n In my view, all this publicprivate<\/em> data should be shared in an open faceworld, where little facebooklets – or should we rather call them faceworldlets? – live on people’s own owned computers, community servers, company servers, whatever,<\/p>\n and exchange data into distributed cloudy faceworldly pools.<\/p>\n
