The Future of Privacy
summary
Argues for treating privacy as responsible data use rather than secrecy and shows concrete moves: surface personalized features, display profiles and show users their clickstream, use UI symbols and controls, and adopt opt‑in cookie flows. Gives examples: a misfired Facebook kiss delivered to 8–9 people, DoubleClick and Yahoo trials where users inspect and add data rather than opt out, and the News Feed rollout that initially triggered outrage but then succeeded because value was obvious. European cookie law and startups like Trustee drive technical change.
