De-Fang the Unions Pixels and Dots - Basic Privacy Invasion
| |
| It's hard to believe that we're into
another year in the 21st Century. I've just finished reading Robert A.
Heinlein's first book "For Us the Living" - finally published years after his
death and despite the fact that he thought he'd destroyed all copies of it. An
interesting read, not because it is science fiction and not really because it
is from my favourite author - but because so many of the things he talks about
in it, written from the point of view of someone from 1936 transplanted to
2086, are relevant to today. I expect I'll write some things over the next
while to illustrate why I feel that way. In the
mean time, I've just finished an article that is an
Introduction
to Internet and Computer Privacy Invasion - for those of us who don't
really know what all the computers out there are doing when we interact with
them. It includes some lessons on how and why you should push back at the
invasive techniques and technologies used to gather your profile information.
Thanks for visiting - and please feel free to give me
some feedback to richard@pacdat.net
