Online privacy...

Over the weekend, I had the chance to listen to an episode of Click, a production of the BBC. This particular episode addressed issues of online privacy, including several interesting perspectives.

  • Some countries require users of web 2.0 sites where posting comments is allowed to register using their real names, so that "flamers" are identifiable. 
  • A filmmaker attempted to hide himself and challenged detective to find him. His story was documented in film.
  • Several tools are available for anonymizing your web sessions.
Very interesting ideas, worth talking about with middle schoolers, I think.
