People are worried about privacy, and its one of the reasons people are using a service like SnapChat.
Beware the Four Horsemen of the Information Apocalypse: terrorists, drug dealers, kidnappers, and child pornographers. Seems like you can scare any public into allowing the government to do anything with those four.
Prior to email, our private correspondence was secured by a government institution called the postal service. Today, we trust AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, or Gmail with our private utterances.
The anonymity of the internet has been completely abandoned - everything's so tied to your identity and sense of self now. It's hard for me to see that changing, but that's why I wrote a love letter to something that once was.
Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.
It would be creepy if you knew my home address.
I'm worried about privacy - the companies out there gathering data on us, the stuff we do on Twitter, the publicly scrapeable stuff on Facebook. It's amazing how much data there is out there on us. I'm worried that it can be abused and will be abused.
Internet freedom is not possible without freedom from fear, and users will not be free from fear unless they are sufficiently protected from online theft and attack.
I have this really bad habit of doing things on the Internet and forgetting that the whole world is going to see it.
No computer or smartphone can ever be considered 100 percent 'safe.' We're all engaged in a perpetual battle with criminals and hostile governments trying to use computers and the Internet to steal information and identities.
I never understood what the big deal is about privacy.
I'm very protective of my online life, and I try and take as many security measures.
We should be careful not to vilify encryption itself, which is essential for privacy, data security, and global commerce.
We've come to expect so little from online privacy measures that public displays of concern about the matter are more or less for show. Being devastated to discover you've been tagged in somebody else's photo has an air of the melodramatic about it at this point.
I mean, my mom knows Google, but she doesn't know MySpace.
I really think we need to see how we can expand our privacy laws.
Two years from now, spam will be solved.
To be clear, any attempt to hack or to do anything nefarious is wrong and illegal.
When Facebook launched, it dove headfirst into a brave new world. No one knew that the cost of connecting people all over the world for ad revenue was eventually going to be Cambridge Analytica.
The difference between theft and destruction is often a few keystrokes.
There should be some commonsense principles that will assure the American public that their rights are going to be protected online.
It's interesting - what are you willing to give up in terms of your privacy for access to other people? For access to things you think you desperately need. Ultimately, it's that old saying, isn't it? If the service is free, then the product is you. The thing being sold is you. There's a product for sale in you and your data.
Everything I post online is curated.
At one point I thought changing my name might help with privacy, but that was before the Internet.
We're risking the future of the net. People are already losing their trust. Once you get burned once - somebody steals your credit card, or makes a purchase on your account - people tend to stay away from online commerce and from trusting online services.
