The coming privacy crisis on the Internet of Things | Alasdair Allan | TEDxExeterSalon

Mark Zuckerberg may have declared that privacy is no longer a social norm, but Alasdair Allan believes a backlash is coming. In this talk, he explores how the internet has changed the concept of ownership and explains why the Internet of Things – combined with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation – could soon determine whether we have any privacy at all.

Alasdair is a scientist, author, hacker and journalist.

I would (and do) happily pay a small monthly charge for basic internet services that don't invade my privacy.

Bill Hicks was very right about advertisers:D Ya'll remember?

A good proprtion of western society is basically thick and unintelligent. Witness the rise of reality TV and the slavish and utterly purile clap trap these zombies are glued to.
That's the problem here.
It's the reason we have so much consumer debt and a generation completely out of touch with basic money management and budgeting, who don't know the difference between a want and a need.

Many devices today can be challenging and difficult to understand.

Everyone keep in mind the internet now knows you know about internet privacy and they expect you to not do anything about it.

It is surprising that a privacy backlash of a reasonable magnitude hasn't come yet, what with smartphones being the perfect surveillance device. IOT will only serve to improve the data that is already being supplied to advertising companies through our smartphones.

The Tesla argument was not fair, as maintaining a battery that uses the last 20 % or so is way more expensive (hence reserved to higher paying subscribers). It is somewhat akin to people filling only half their tank to have less weight to carry and consume less: they save up, but they also have a shorter range. Maybe Tesla could have a paid-per-usage option for this range extension (much appreciated in case of emergency). A few could be free too. Anyway, you got the point.

[stalinspotato]

Usually we don’t say privacy like that

[Nicolas-idfh]

anyone else extremely bothered by how he pronounces privacy? :P

[joshuageorge]

there's no more privacy due to the internet existing

[georgiosraikos]

Privacy is an odd lock-down of our mirrored self-perception over relationship-built live feed of others' mirror of us.

With Tesla, is opposite way, they agree to pay less for less range, and Tesla for free give them something, they agree they not pay for. Is like Intel cpu without K, you can't overclock them, even they have physic possibility to do it, but you buy them for cheaper.

I thought it was pry vay see not Priv va cee

If anyone is fixated with his pronouncements than you have a fixed mindset and as they say, “basic”.
