Headline: "Privileged straight white male technology executives are dead wrong (again)"
Oh yes. Only working-class, black lesbians ever get anything right regarding technological social policy.
Seriously, what's with the prejudiced headline? Privacy is good. You don't have to diss entire categories of people to argue for that.
- billybob 17y ago...and, I'd like to add, doing so makes you sound stupid. So I didn't read very far. People like Bruce Schneier argue eloquently about why privacy is a good thing without this sort of childish name-calling. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/05/the_value_of_pr.html http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/05/the_value_of_p...
- sriramk 17y agoBruce and danah are arguing from completely different perspectives. I think danah's talk needs to be read in its entirety - it fits in also with some of her other work around the demographic and ethnographic issues around social networks http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/2010/SXSW2010.html http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/2010/SXSW2010.html
- _delirium 17y agoNot to mention that our SXSW interlocutor in question is herself a member of the privileged, white group, and therefore presumably at least partly suspect.
- sp332 17y agoPeople in that group are least likely to be discriminated against, and therefore have the least to hide online. Poor black lesbians have more reason to be defensive.
