- 1. Policy Primer: Online Privacy NET303, STUDY PERIOD 3, 2017 STEPHEN MCKEE
- 2. Executive Summary: Online Privacy • Online privacy affects us all. • What are some of the ways we can view online privacy? • Privacy and the “terms of use” we agree to in everyday online life. • Privacy and you, as an individual. 2
- 3. Online Privacy Effects Us All. • Privacy has changed: In rural communities and small social groups everyone has an idea of what their neighbors are doing in public. • Privacy once relied heavily on social influence and the rule of law to protect you. • In the offline world we have walls ,doors, rooms , barriers and other spaces that can give us individual privacy. • When you are online all this collapses. There is no context or boundaries anymore. (Lessig, 1988) 3
- 4. Some Of The Ways We Can View Online Privacy. • Privacy can be seen as how easy it is to monitor us, or how easy it is to search and cross reference our data (and meta data). This has four main areas. 1. The Legal aspects. 2. The social aspects and acceptable normal behaviors in society. 3. The markets and their influence. 4. The architecture of the systems (both literal computer systems and the metaphor of building architecture). (Lessig, 1988) 4
- 5. Online Privacy And How It Gets Controlled: A Traditional Model Un-monitored data Un-searchable data Law Social Norms Markets Architectures Gets Controlled by (Lessig, 1988) 5
- 6. A Modern View Of Online Privacy • We can also look at privacy as the way in which parts of a network interact. • In the online world it means how we manage the boundaries of those we interact with from different parts of our life. • It is about managing the way our data gets seen once someone in the network views it. • Privacy and how it is perceived moves more frequently (Marwick & boyd, 2014) 6
- 7. Online Privacy In A Networked Model Managing boundaries Managing rapidly changing environments Managing context and perceptions (Marwick & boyd, 2014) 7
- 8. Online Privacy &“Terms and Conditions” • Your data is never truly anonymous in the modern world. • What are the types of data retained? • Who is collecting data? • What are we giving away? • Participation is no longer a choice ! 8
- 9. What The Experts Are Saying About losing Privacy Through Connectivity THE QUESTION POSED • As billions more everyday objects are connected in the Internet ofThings, they are sending and receiving data that enhances local, national and global systems as well as individuals’ lives. But such connectedness also creates exploitable vulnerabilities. As automobiles, medical devices, smartTVs, manufacturing equipment and other tools and infrastructure are networked, is it likely that attacks, hacks or ransomware concerns in the next decade will cause significant numbers of people to decide to disconnect, or will the trend toward greater connectivity of objects and people continue unabated? R E S P O N S E O F 1 20 1 T E C H N O LO G I S T S , S C H O L A R S , P R A C T I T I O N E R S , S T R AT E G I C T H I N K E R S A N D OT H E R L E A D E R S , AT E LO N U N I V E R S I T Y A N D P E W R E S E A R C H C E N T R E ( 20 1 6 ) 85% 15% Professional Response 85%-People will move more deeply into connected life 15%- Signifigant numbers will disconnect. (Rainie, 2017) 9
- 10. What Are The Types Of Data Retained? • It is not simply the words you put into your profile, or the information someone holds about you. • What Is Meta data?- Well, it is data about your data. And most of it we do not see- The 5 standard types of Meta data that travel with your information are: 1. Access Meta data 2. Semantic Meta data-Adds meaning to the raw data stored. 3. Quality Meta data-The stats-LikeGoogle analytics. 4. Transfer Meta data-is the data that explains how the data gets moved about, for example XML or SQL 5. Storage Meta data- IS where the data is do be stored and how it should be stored (Prothman, 2000) 10

- 12. Who Else Is Collecting Data? Third Parties listed in theTerms and Conditions of your agreements. 12
- 13. What are we giving away? • Your views and requirements on privacy are an individual preference. Your personal comfort on the internet often results in your ideas on privacy. It is a classic risk vs. reward situation. • Information will be kept no matter how hard you try to remain anonymous-This information can be pieced together to take advantage of you. This could be financial damage, reputation damage, or in severe cases result in imprisonment. • You do not know how the information can be used in the future. You do not know who might end up using the information and for what outcomes. • The organization that has your data may not be the same in the future. Companies go out of business and governments and political systems change. • It is not all “doom and gloom”. The more open we are with our information the better the service and products we can be provided with. Companies can innovate, Governments can get the right services to the right people. (Bergström, 2015) 13
- 14. Participation Is No Longer A Choice! • You cannot reasonably say to Apple, or Microsoft that you don’t want to accept their “terms and conditions”. If you said No! You would be left without a usable product. • You cannot be expected to live a life completely free of internet influences. • The Australian government now has mandatory data retention laws. • Knowledge of what you are giving away and how these institutions use your data can help. • There are a few websites which can help break the walls of text on your T&C into easy to read information. One example is here: https://tosdr.org/ (Bergström, 2015) 14 This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY- SA
- 15.
