Privacy Project on Twitter: ""That phone in your pocket, the surveillance camera on the corner: You’ve traded away a bit of anonymity, of autonomy, for the usefulness of one, the protection of the other," writes @JBennet, editor of @NYTOpinion. https://t.co/Opbx3pOEbn"

  Think @sarahtgold at @projectsbyif would be a great person to talk to about what companies can, practically, do to design services that respect people's privacy

  Odd launching spot for a project about #privacy. "Given up" implies an informed consumer, which isn't the case. A decision to "trade away" privacy must necessarily be done "consciously" or it isn't consensual. THIS is where a conversation about privacy should begin; #consent.pic.twitter.com/dC1RZx4T0t

  There's a problem with your polling. If you want to read the choices before you make a selection, the act of moving down puts a bar usually in my case one choice further than I am willing to go. If this is common, your data will be badly skewed

  #NYTimes is wrong about privacy not being mentioned in the Constitution. What we call privacy today was a liberty in 1793. Privacy was all about what you did in the privy, and what transpired in that outhouse was considered unalienable and need not be in the Constitution.

  I’m doing nothing illegal or immoral. If I’m assaulted or need medical help, I have my phone and am on camera. Anonymity isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
