Originally Posted on Substack I created this cartoon because I often hear older people scoff at how younger people don’t care about privacy because they’re exposing so much of their lives. But I find these sentiments to be chutzpah because young people are exposing their lives due to the way technology is nudging, pushing, cajoling, […]
Originally posted on Substack I enjoy collecting things related to privacy as well as seeing how privacy is described and depicted throughout different times in history. I collected about 50 magazine covers involving privacy from 1950s to the present. I’m excited to share my collection with you. If you have any covers I’ve missed, please […]
Originally Posted on Substack I’ve long enjoyed collecting ads that attempt to market privacy. Here are some of the highlights of my collection. Please be sure to read to the end, as there are many great video ads, which find ways to tell stories and make arguments for privacy that resonate with the public.
NBC Think Again did a short feature about my article, “I’ve Got Nothing to Hide and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy.” In this interview we talk about what privacy really means and how little of it we actually have. Click here to watch this interview, or watch it in the embedded video below.
I had a great conversation about the future direction of privacy in the next four years with Cam Kerry (Brookings), Alexandra Reeve Givens (CDT), and Justin Antonipillai (Wirewheel). This video is part of Wirewheel’s Spokes Conference. Check out the video here: Join Wirewheel’s Spokes Conference (Dec. 1-2, 2020) for other great sessions!

A Pew survey revealed that a “majority of Americans (54%) disapprove of the U.S. government’s collection of telephone and internet data as part of anti-terrorism efforts.” The anti-NSA […]
It is often said that people don’t care much about privacy these days given how much information they expose about themselves. But survey after survey emphatically concludes that people really do care about privacy.
A common argument I hear is that young people just don’t care about privacy. If they cared about privacy, why would they share so much personal data on Facebook? Why would they text so much? Why would they be so cavalier about their privacy? Privacy will be dead in a generation, the argument goes. This […]
A new poll by Common Sense Media reveals some interesting data about privacy and youth. The poll was conducted by Zogby International:
