Privacy is Dead – Get over it
(54 votes, average: 4.44 out of 5)
This speech of privacy expert Steven Rambam gives deep insight into the possibilities of privacy invasion through tools that are freely available on the internet. He gives examples of myspace, facebook, blogs, etc. and also shows how companies like Google or even Domino’s Pizza are using data-mining to get a profile of their customers. One of my favorite quotes is, when he talks about the possibilities that mobile phones offer for data collection:
“The iPhone uses both, GPS and Skyhook - you can’t hide – the only way to hide from this is to take out the battery – oh, wait a second … you can’t take the battery out of an iPhone!” [1:12:35]
This documentary is quite long – around 3 hours – but if you care just a little bit about your privacy, it is worth every minute!

facebook and other social networking sites offer privacy protection – he failed to mention that in his speech

Amazing… None of this should surprise a cynical old coot like me, but it still does in a wow kind of way. It’s one thing to have a sense that “They’ve got our numbers.’, but it’s an eye opener just the same to have it spelled out like this. Amazing times we’re in and headed for. Awareness of these things should be part of a basic education to any planning to navegate the 21st century.

@adz Didn’t you hear about the story of the woman that got sued by the insurance company over medical fees for depression because the company found Facebook pictures of her “being happy” – evidence that she is in fact happy and not depressed. The woman also stated that she had all her privacy settings checked to not let outsiders look at her pictures and said that the insurance company was invading her privacy, but no one could help her in the end.

‘Facebook offers privacy protection’ you can protect your personal information towards other facebook users. But it’s all there any person inside facebook or inside an investigation has access to everything. Actually have you tried to cancel your facebook page? they keep all your information saved. Yes they are kind they think about you and they want to make your lfe easy. So as soon as you decided to be back you have all your friends there all the communities there. The point of the documentary is brilliant. Until when can we believe all this is safe? all this is just fun, are all the words being typed can be used against you? it’s a bit paranoid. It’s factual privacy is dead. Thank you Steve it was very thoughtful to hear you.

Wow, what an amazing lecture. Someone should give this guy a TV show. Rambam is a PI and boss of the Pallorium agency, so I can only imagine what he DIDN’T include in his talk.

Awesome. This stuff is scary man. I don’t like it. He had some really funny parts in his presentations.
