      The Silicon Valley model that privacy can be negotiated person by person rather as a whole with full externalities: networked, without practical obscurity, searchable, mass, permanent etc, is 100% wrong.

      I was able to identify a solder running a route around a camp in Iraq and follow him home to France. Using the built in interface of Strava, in the manner in which it was intended.

      Academics have been yelling about this as loudly as they can. @random_walker's work on re-identification for example.https://twitter.com/bikehugger/status/957865443766632449 …

      2 years ago @random_walker predicted what just happened with Strava’s data release. “Released data will get increasingly vulnerable to re-identification—unless methods with provable privacy properties are used for the data release.” Here’s the paper http://randomwalker.info/publications/precautionary.pdf …

      Privacy of data simply cannot be negotiated person by person, especially because there's no meaningful informed consent. People cannot comprehend what their data will reveal especially *in conjuction* with other data. Even companies do not know this, so they cannot inform anyone.

      I'll emphasize: In the digital age, there is NO meaningful informed consent with regards to data privacy that operates at an individual level. Current implications are unknown; future uses are unknowable. Companies structurally cannot inform and we are in no position to consent.

          Nobody knows what machine learning will be able fairly successfully to infer about what set of data in the future, and what piece plays what role. People have hard time comprehending what a searchable database of many people's data reveal, etc. THERE IS NO INFORMED CONSENT HERE.

          "Check your privacy settings"—which is your standard Silicon Valley response—is no response. In the digital age, data privacy simply cannot be negotiated and consented to at the individual level. (Let alone via wrap-around, click-through, as-is legalese).https://twitter.com/LizSly/status/957743336818954240 …

          Just now: Strava sends a statement in response to the discovery that its fitness trackers are showing up sensitive US military information. It politely urges users to check the Strava website to be sure they understand the privacy settings. https://blog.strava.com/privacy-14288/

          Even if informed consent were possible, designers continue to apply implied consent patterns to terms and conditions, etc. I dare any company to publicize how many people open the t&c page linked next to the opt-in checkboxes in their forms!

          People have to control over their data & the default must be no collection. If companies cannot explain clearly & honestly what they or any other party does with it, without forcing it or implying it, then they cannot collect or process personal data. #ePrivacy #DoNotTrack
