Christmas Message from Edward Snowden:
"A Child Born Today Will Grow Up With No Conception of Privacy at All"
While there may be no explicit omniscient Big Brother, it seems as though humans want to be tracked. Privacy seems to not be such a gem we fight for. As we walk through our lives we record our moments on social media within minutes. Do we even want, care for Privacy?
Edward Snowden: “A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all,” “They’ll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves — an unrecorded, unanalyzed thought. Privacy matters; privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.
Great Britain’s George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collection in the book — microphones and video cameras, TVs that watch us — are nothing compared to what we have available today. We have sensors in our pockets that track us everywhere we go.
