#canalpirata #vaeo The piracy of online privacy | Paul Smalera

Via Scoop.it – INTERNET in DANGER

Let’s stop pretending we’re upset about Web companies violating our privacy. There’s nothing left to be violated.   Online privacy doesn’t exist[1]. It was lost years ago. And not only was it taken, we’ve all already gotten used to it. Loss of privacy is a fundamental tradeoff at the very core of social networking. Our privacy has been taken in service of the social tools we so crave and suddenly cannot live without. If not for the piracy of privacy, Facebook wouldn’t exist. Nor would Twitter. Nor even would Gmail, Foursquare, Groupon, Zynga, etc.   [1] https://twitter.com/#!/dcurtis/status/167121306519744512
