237 Reasons to read AOC2: Day 49, Quote 163 - George Jenkins
The Way of the Internet by George Jenkins - ivebeenmugged.typepad.com
“Everyone has secrets — personal data they don’t want others to know. Some Internet users disclose more personal data than others. That’s a personal choice. The question is — who decides? You? Or the company that operates the website?”
In a chapter entitled ‘The Way of the Internet‘ George reminds us to ask some questions about privacy before we share information on our profile forms. Questions such as: —
- Do I know and trust this company?
- Will this company protect my sensitive data from abuse and theft?
- Would I share this sensitive personal data with a stranger?
- Does the site provide opt-out choices?
- What are the consequences if I share this personal data?
