In the interest of privacy, these ubiquitous videos will be encrypted so securely that playback will be effectively impossible unless the court orders it.
While I agree there will be more and more live video available, I think the encryption and privacy stuff is mostly wrong.
For starters, nobody bothers to encrypt email, despite the technology existing for many years. Also look at social networking sites. People happily post all kinds of personal data, with increasing frequency and decreasing concern for their own privacy. I think that trend will continue.
People might say they care a lot about the ongoing loss of privacy in the modern world, but they don't really.
- wvenable 17y agoEmail is a poor example for encryption -- too many factors involved. On the other hand, how many people encrypt their online purchases? It's easy to have silent automatic encryption if you build it from the beginning.
- abstractbill 17y agoMy belief is that money is actually the only thing people really care about encrypting (or at least it will be, in the long term).
- wvenable 17y agoBut if you encrypt everything by default, nobody is going to turn that off either.
