One part of @Gemalto report that was interesting and troubling was how little consideration the young people gave to the risks of persistent monitoring. When our devices and infrastructure collect tons of data to function, the doors to abuse open wide.

in the same time the use of these data will allow for real use of the connected cities. Need to find a way to "de personalize" them

Is this the new social media? First gen it was a novelty and they ignored risks. Current gen much more cautious (hence rise of Snapchat). Maybe it will take a generation before people are cautious about monitoring.

It's ignorance. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. The data is already out there and open to abuse and is abused. It can only get worse.

@bookofthefuture Or a crisis of privacy.
Tom Cheesewright
@technokitten Don't agree - it's bad for the generation who were blind to it. Their children/younger brothers/sisters much smarter

@bookofthefuture @dankaplan I honestly feel like over-monitoring & protection is borderline futile. Just like breaking into your house: if someone *really* wants to do it, they'll find a way.

@FabioVirgi_ That's why we need to get rid of big personal data stores - too attractive as targets. individuals much less so.
Fabio Virgi
@bookofthefuture now don't get me wrong - I value my privacy and all that - but we're living in an age where we're putting everything out for everyone to see. We gave up privacy the minute we signed up to Facebook and Twitter lol
Dan Kaplan
@FabioVirgi_ Tom's point about SnapChat is a good one. Is SnapChat's popularity about privacy or its novel interface?

Also check out Geoff White's 'The Secret Life of your Mobile Phone' https://www.secdata.... We know this stuff already, but Joe and Joanna Bloggs doesn't. And even if you know, it's still illuminating.

@bookofthefuture I hope so but I'm not seeing much evidence of that yet.
Tom Cheesewright
@FabioVirgi_ That's not true of the young now - they learned from our mistakes and they're much more cautious. FB is a hygiene function for them - necessary but not desired
Fabio Virgi
I think it's the novelty, 100% attention Snapchat requires as opposed to a stream of content, and using video/imagery as the medium. IMO, the 'privacy' is likely to be valued most by the people sexting more than anyone.

is that people see no other alternative where you data isn't captured/sifted, that they don't bother trying to change the status quo?

@technokitten agreed. something will force a change
