Gini, Martin and Joe talk about privacy and the continuing interest of government legislators about what the social networks and search engines are doing – and not doing – to protect it. Privacy is not just about the personally identifiable data. It’s as much about the metadata that flows from it.
We also talk about how realistic it is to expect agencies and organizations to respond to individual people during a crisis. The case is Joe’s over-two-day return to the dark ages when he and 250,000 other Hydro customers lost their power following a tornado in Ottawa. Is it good enough for organizations to simply publish general information – or should they attempt to respond to individuals and communicate information that would be useful to specific groups, such as neighbourhoods?

“It’s funny how charismatic technical terms get to mean something entirely different in time. For instance DarkNet was the term for a type of friend to friend network. It’s dark because you can’t harvest IP’s. Now it’s synonymous with deep web. :-)
Quote: “”Supposedly, the players hire assassins to ensure their bets are won. The prize is awarded in Bitcoins. There are markets on DarkNet, some claim, where they sell human flesh by the pound. For Bitcoins, of course.””
Yeah, and don’t forget weapons of mass destruction. It has to be there, right? Please don’t report on what random teenagers on an anonymous IRC channel “”suppose””.
I know it’s not the author’s claim but I needed to add that you can’t (and also shouldn’t try to) prevent antisocial behavior by limiting everyone’s freedoms. This goes both for information transfer and value transfer. Now that we can’t even take our own money through borders, the crime rate should be down right?”
