Wikileaks and radical transparency





That really annoyed me.

  1. Right on!

    I’ve been advising that, basically, you shouldn’t type stuff into computers unless you’re willing to risk it becoming public. While there are steps you can take to reduce the risk (encryption and other things you control – not things like google’s privacy settings), it only reduces the risk. There is still a risk.

    But I still get challenged by so-called “ICT Champions” who seem to get paid to teach people how to use snake oil privacy settings. :-/

    Do you think people realise how WikiLeaks shows no-one has a zero risk of publication? If the US government can be leaked, why will small associations be immune?

  2. Small side note: Where I wrote “other things you control”, I mean things you have sole control over. Yes, you have some control over privacy settings, but you share control with the site’s owners and operators.
