BIG EYE - koliku privatnost zaista želite?Čak danas i poljoprivrednici imaju kreditne kartice i internet banking i ostalo.
Ono što mogu da zaključim jeste da ljudi ne samo da neće da se bore da imaju veću privatnost, već će biti ubeđeni da je to kul da svoju privatnost dele sa svima i svuda.
Imam određeni osećaj, koji naravno može da vara, da su ustvari sve najveće IT kompanije (Microsoft, Google, Intel, Apple, eBay...) povezane u jedan sistem, koji se nalazi iznad njih, i koji sve vreme sakuplja sve podatke o onima koji koriste internet.
Trenutno je u modi (koju propagiraju Apple, Google i Microsoft) takozvani "cloud" - veoma bitan i vazan sistem za vas biznis i vašu bezbednost. Jer eto, šta ako vaš kompjuter crkne, bolje bi bilo da sve informacije o vašoj kompaniji budu na "našim" serverima.
I ne samo to, već ljudi govore glasno da je to "revolucija" i da je to "kul".
Pre neki dan napravio sam MobileMe account na Apple-u i vidim, sinhronizuje se i moj keychain - dakle svi passwordi koje sam sačuvao odleteše kod Apple-a. Cool. Sad sam siguran, ako zaboravim password imam ga kod Apple-a.
Novi iPhoto skenira sve moje slike i prisiljava me da "tagg-am" sve ljude na njima. Osim toga, traži da na karti odredim gde su slike uzete. Čemu to služi?
Posle, sve svoje "tagged" slike da prebacim na MobileMe, na tamo neki servis u Kaliforniji?
Google(-Microsoft-Yahoo). Ako imate account sav moj "search" se registruje sa mojim accountom. Google je povezan sa YouTube servisom, na osnovu IP može se povezati određeni login na Google sa tim što ja gledam. I ne samo to, već su mnogi drugi servisi povezani sa G. Dalje, Google Docs. Stvarno je kul da imam svoje dokumente na nekom drugom serveru.. Google chat: stvarno je kul da imam opciju da ugasim automatsko čuvanje chat-history ali da li je to samo za mene isključivanje?
Google Picasa. Instaliram Google Picasa i startujem program. Šta se dešava? Picasa bez mog odobrenja pregleda ČITAV moj HDD i sve slike ubaci u Picas-u. Čak i one bespotrebne. Šta bre ima Picasa da prelazi preko mog HDD??
Google Calendar: stvarno je kul da imam sve svoje obaveze na Googlu.
Sad vidim hoće Google da ima i svoj operativni sistem, pa da svi podaci koje koristite na vašem računaru budu u dodiru sa Google-om. Naravno, to će biti besplatno.
GoogleToolbar. Koji će mi to q? Danas ću da idem do Beograđanke da guglam imaju li cipele....
Desktopsearch - oh God, lovely, ali da li zaista Google treba da skenira sve moje dokumente?
Ovo je iz 2004:
Citat:
1. Google's immortal cookie:
Google was the first search engine to use a cookie that expires in 2038. This was at a time when federal websites were prohibited from using persistent cookies altogether. Now it's years later, and immortal cookies are commonplace among search engines; Google set the standard because no one bothered to challenge them. This cookie places a unique ID number on your hard disk. Anytime you land on a Google page, you get a Google cookie if you don't already have one. If you have one, they read and record your unique ID number.
2. Google records everything they can:
For all searches they record the cookie ID, your Internet IP address, the time and date, your search terms, and your browser configuration. Increasingly, Google is customizing results based on your IP number. This is referred to in the industry as "IP delivery based on geolocation."
3. Google retains all data indefinitely:
Google has no data retention policies. There is evidence that they are able to easily access all the user information they collect and save.
4. Google won't say why they need this data:
Inquiries to Google about their privacy policies are ignored. When the New York Times (2002-11-28) asked Sergey Brin about whether Google ever gets subpoenaed for this information, he had no comment.
5. Google hires spooks:
Keyhole, Inc. was supported with funds from the CIA. They developed a database of spy-in-the-sky images from all over the world. Google acquired Keyhole in 2004, and would like to hire more people with security clearances, so that they can peddle their corporate assets to the spooks in Washington.
6. Google's toolbar is spyware:
With the advanced features enabled, Google's free toolbar for Explorer phones home with every page you surf, and yes, it reads your cookie too. Their privacy policy confesses this, but that's only because Alexa lost a class-action lawsuit when their toolbar did the same thing, and their privacy policy failed to explain this. Worse yet, Google's toolbar updates to new versions quietly, and without asking. This means that if you have the toolbar installed, Google essentially has complete access to your hard disk every time you connect to Google (which is many times a day). Most software vendors, and even Microsoft, ask if you'd like an updated version. But not Google. Any software that updates automatically presents a massive security risk.
7. Google's cache copy is illegal:
Judging from Ninth Circuit precedent on the application of U.S. copyright laws to the Internet, Google's cache copy appears to be illegal. The only way a webmaster can avoid having his site cached on Google is to put a "noarchive" meta in the header of every page on his site. Surfers like the cache, but webmasters don't. Many webmasters have deleted questionable material from their sites, only to discover later that the problem pages live merrily on in Google's cache. The cache copy should be "opt-in" for webmasters, not "opt-out."
8. Google is not your friend:
By now Google enjoys a 75 percent monopoly for all external referrals to most websites. Webmasters cannot avoid seeking Google's approval these days, assuming they want to increase traffic to their site. If they try to take advantage of some of the known weaknesses in Google's semi-secret algorithms, they may find themselves penalized by Google, and their traffic disappears. There are no detailed, published standards issued by Google, and there is no appeal process for penalized sites. Google is completely unaccountable. Most of the time Google doesn't even answer email from webmasters.
9. Google is a privacy time bomb:
With 200 million searches per day, most from outside the U.S., Google amounts to a privacy disaster waiting to happen. Those newly-commissioned data-mining bureaucrats in Washington can only dream about the sort of slick efficiency that Google has already achieved.

Da ne govorimo o MS ili Apple. Da li neko može da tvrdi da niti jedna od ove dve kompanije ne može da pristupi vašim podacima, odnosno da li može da dokaže da oni NE MOGU?
Da ne govorim o Facebook-u, Twitter, Scribd, YouTube, MySpace i ostalim servisima gde ljudi masovono i bez ustezanja ostavljaju sve svoje tragove. Pre neki dan iz za***...je odlučim da promenim ime na FB, ali šatro, ne može, moraju oni to da odobre.
Neko će reći "boli mene qrats da li će neko da zna sve o meni ili ne", ali nije problem u tome, već je problem što se informacije mogu i te kao zloupotrebiti.
Po mom mišljenju, ništa ne radim ilegalno čega bi se sramotio, ALI, zamislite vreme koje bi moglo da nastupi kada recimo za 25 godina neki novi Hitler ili Staljin dođe do velike moći (a istorija dokazuje da je takvih manijaka bilo u izobilju), i u tom trenutku moj eventualni protest protiv takvog režima biće vrlo lako sprečen.
Da li delite moje mišljenje?
Sunca li ti žarevog!!
