The technologies we rely on, both new and old, are now very effective tools that both governments and private firms are using to gather, analyze, store, and sell information about our private lives, habits, purchases, whereabouts, and even thoughts and beliefs. But some of this invasion of privacy pays a welcome dividend in convenience and power in our own lives. Where do we draw the line, and how can we use this potentially-invasive technology for our benefit, without sacrificing our private lives to commerce?

Steven Rambam gave a two-and-a-half hour lecture on electronic surveillance and privacy at the Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in 2006. It is a must-see presentation for anyone with an interest in these topics. You can find it on-line here:
