In the Internet age, it is inevitable that corporations and government agencies will have access to detailed information about people's lives.

It's dangerous when people are willing to give up their privacy.

Uncontrolled access to data, with no audit trail of activity and no oversight would be going too far. This applies to both commercial and government use of data about people.

I suspect privacy is a very new concept to humanity.

We never, ever in the history of mankind have had access to so much information so quickly and so easily.

Biographical data, even those recorded in the public registers, are the most private things one has, and to declare them openly is rather like facing a psychoanalyst.

I respect someone's right to privacy and I want them to know it.

I think I've begun to take for granted how easily information can swirl around me.

Even though people pretend that medical records are privileged information, anyone can already get their hands on them.

When people don't get enough information, they make it up.
