One thing that is rarely mentioned in the online privacy discussion is how it stands to influence elections in 20 years.
Right now we take ideological issue with statements of candidates past preachers or professors. Imagine when a simple leak will spill every horrible thing a candidate said during their teenage years to friends on Facebook messenger or aim. It will be a lagging indicator of privacy policy, but one that stands to influence American politics in a couple of decades.
- _iao 10y agoThat already doesn't matter. Trump openly said he molested women.. No one cares apparently.
- Silhouette 10y agoLots of people cared. Just not quite enough or in the right parts of the US, unfortunately.
- bigbugbag 10y agoZuckerberg got leaked offering to give personal info of harvard students and calling those dumb f*cks for giving him this information through thefacebook, but it didn't have any kind of impact, people still flock to facebook to give away all their private data. So I doubt this kind of leak will have a significant impact.
