The article is about the problem caused by not being explicit with our privacy intentions and expecting software to figure it out.
If we keep catering to the expectation that software will solve this problem, we'll miss out on lots of opportunities, including the opportunity to develop a privacy-aware society. People are able to learn these things. They will, if you let them.
Human nature is not a fixed value in this problem. It will grow around the best tools.
- prosa 17y agoThat's a great point. One thing that I did not explore in the article is what the implications are for product marketing and adoption. By launching Buzz with preliminary connections already baked in, Google is really boosting the chances for uptake. I agree that people can learn to use the tools, but can we design go-to-market strategies that do not depend on software continuing to guess who wants to talk to who, about what?
