I’ve been a bit MIA and will continue to be so for a couple more days. I’m at the end of my semester and have found myself with the monstrous task of studying for my accounting final. But I couldn’t let things go fully neglected. Here is an interesting post regarding digital privacy, entitled, Respecting digital privacy (via Shift6). And with a little luck I’ll survive my exam and will be back in full force by the end of the week.

Getting inside people’s decision-making, to inject caution before commitment is likely to be extremely difficult (even with well-understood hazards, such as smoking and alcohol, health educators have difficulty getting their message across). But given that there is a likelihood that many people will continue to act humanly and, therefore, incautiously, there is an opportunity for companies to commit openly to respectful data handling.
