The best new social network where the users market, search, and share news, blogs, feeds, music, videos, websites, and events. Search for “TheMusicAge” on Google.

I recommend folks watch, “Taking Liberties” its available online & an excellent example of how the US is strongarming compliance of foreign nationals & governments to cough up privacy freedoms.
I also recommend “The Jeff Farias Show” which covers these issues regularly. HIs show is also free, online & features podcasts of fantastic interviews with leading researchers & activists.

great soundtrack music…reminds me bands like Postal Service or Figurine. anyone know the name of the artist?

I don’t understand why the Privacy Commissioner takes forever to process a complaint. If it is because of short staffing then hire more people I submitted a complaint in august 2007 (thats a long time) 17 months still no response

Yeah it bothers the shit out of me that nobody seems to know that the REAL ID act passed in 05.

Yesterday I say the first ad saying the national ID cards in my state will be manditory after june 2009. Its no longer a conspiracy theory…..its already happened. pretty sad
October 27th, 2009 at 5:34 am
Seems to me a precursor to a national identity card… I can just imagine some time in the future once ID-cards are forced upon people a question on users facebook profiles “Would you like to import your ID card data into facebook? connect with friends…FREE, win a chicken!”

Wow, this is disturbing. And I just came across this video while searching to see if anyone from my family was on here T_T my dad broke off all contact with them years ago. The Stoddart family… He had four sisters (I think!)… I know this is useless, but it would be great to get back in touch with my cousins, or aunts, or even my grandparents on her side.

I never heard of this organization until I saw this video, I am comforted by its existence.
I actually work on a project related to data mining consumer and web services. It’s scary what can be done. But, web services don’t have to be vilified, there are ways to manage personal information and advertising needs without infringing on users rights and expectations. This is a topic everyone really should learn more about.

The video provides an insight into a much wider topic of depleting individual privacy. Its not just social network sites that process our data. Look at others like our credit card companies(they know our shopping patterns), loyalty cards or grocery store cards(they know how much of what you consume every week), banks, email service providers, Google (it knows your browsing/searching patterns), ebay, amazon, paid digital tv channels. All of them earn something by analysing our patterns.

This is one of the best government education videos I have ever seen. Great job!!

Interesting to see an institution I think of as ’square’ (Canadian privacy regulators) getting into the viral video marketing game. I don’t agree with all of the claims made in this video but it’s making some of the right points…
