The issues aren't success or philanthropy. It's about privacy, control over your own data, etc. This audience cares a lot about that, normal people don't ever think about it. It would never occur to my dad that Facebook having his private info might be a bad thing.
- Joeboy 16y agoI think this will change. As the promiscuity of personal data rockets, it will start to impact visibly on people's lives, and they will start caring. </ball type="crystal">
- Joeboy 16y agoSorry, I replied once already but I've decided I want another go. > It's about privacy, control over your own data, etc. This audience cares a lot about that I don't share your impression of this audience. It seems to me this audience largely thinks access to other people's data is awesome, can't wait to make money off it, and thinks dissenters are awkward, time-wasting Luddites. That's a rather broad and unflattering characterization, but it represents my general impression better than "This audience cares a lot about privacy". Nobody should take this personally btw - clearly some people here genuinely care a lot. I'm part of this audience too.
