In conclusion๏ This shouldn’t be this easy.

๏ What if someone had genuinely nefarious motives?

๏ What if someone wanted to open a credit card in your name?

๏ What if someone wanted to steal your identity?

In Conclusion๏ Our attitude to privacy has fundamentally

changed.

๏ What if I was to ask you about your sexuality, religious beliefs or political leanings?

๏ Why the hell do you post this on your facebook profile?

In conclusion๏ We’ve become increasingly more and

more exhibitionist.

๏ Do your facebook friends need to know where you are at all times?

๏ Your date of birth?

๏ Your contact details?

๏ Your life story?

In Conclusion

In conclusion๏ Everything I showed you today was real.

๏ It’s all free and online.

๏ It’s not difficult.

In conclusion๏ If I can find out everything there is to know

about you on a cell phone, what does this mean for privacy?

๏ The answer? Privacy has died. We’ve killed it, and it’s not coming back.

In conclusion๏ Check out Steve Rambam’s talk from

HOPE 8 entitled ‘Privacy is Dead, Get Over It’.

๏ Check out ‘The Filter Bubble’ by Eli Pariser.
