Rupert Sanders Quotes

A smart phone essentially creates a dossier of your travels, and consumers have no control over who will eventually see that information.

You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.

In the Internet age, it is inevitable that corporations and government agencies will have access to detailed information about people's lives.

Historically, privacy was almost implicit, because it was hard to find and gather information. But in the digital world, whether it's digital cameras or satellites or just what you click on, we need to have more explicit rules - not just for governments but for private companies.

What I would love to see is art that explicitly addresses not personal intimacies but anonymous intimacies: the vast collections of facts about you and me that now exist in giant server banks.

It's remarkably easy to dig up enormous amounts of information about individuals, without their consent.
