Privacy Lost: Does anybody care?
From MSNBC: Privacy Lost: Does anybody care?
From the story: “Someday a stranger will read your e-mail, rummage through your instant messages without your permission or scan the Web sites you’ve visited - maybe even find out that you read this story.
“You might be spied in a lingerie store by a secret camera or traced using a computer chip in your car, your clothes or your skin.
“Perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills, or a political consultant might select you for special attention based on personal data purchased from a vendor.
“In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you.”
It amazes me the amount of ambivilance we seem to have when it comes to our privacy rights being eroded…not just by government, but by private industry.
