Netflix Tests Privacy Feature to Help Hide Your Embarrassing Viewing Habits. Netflix is giving some of you permission to have a one-night stand with your favorite bad movie.
The company is testing a "private viewing" feature that allows users to hide a movie or show from their viewing history and recommendations. Now, when you curl up after a long week to watch 27 Dresses on a Friday night, you can be sure your roommate (or spouse or parents or whoever else you share your account with) won't see the remnants of your shameful viewing habits. The new feature, which was first reported by GigaOm, also excludes your selection from its recommendation technology, meaning you won't spend the next two weeks with reminders of the late night mistake you made when you caved and watched Failure to Launch (again).
In a statement to Mashable, a Netflix spokesperson wrote: Own your own data. Cellphone metadata has been in the news quite a bit lately, but the National Security Agency isn’t the only organization that collects information about people’s online behavior.
Newly downloaded cellphone apps routinely ask to access your location information, your address book, or other apps, and of course, websites like Amazon or Netflix track your browsing history in the interest of making personalized recommendations. At the same time, a host of recent studies have demonstrated that it’s shockingly easy to identify unnamed individuals in supposedly “anonymized” data sets, even ones containing millions of records. So, if we want the benefits of data mining — like personalized recommendations or localized services — how can we protect our privacy? In the latest issue of PLOS One, MIT researchers offer one possible answer. Sharing code, not data. La vie privée n'est pas un bug dans le code : Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin at TEDxIssylesMoulineaux.
Données privées des internautes : France Télévisions lance une charte pour plus de transparence - LExpress.fr. Révélations sur les programmes de surveillance américains, piratage des données des clients chez eBay, Orange ou, plus récemment, Domino's Pizza : ces derniers mois, la multiplication de ces affaires a fait naître beaucoup de méfiance autour de la surveillance des citoyens et de l'utilisation et la protection des données personnelles.
Dans ce contexte et après plusieurs mois de travail, France Télévisions a mis en place une charte qui concerne les données personnelles déclaratives (adresse email, nom, prénom, âge...) ou comportementales (centres d'intérêts, activité joueurs) et les données anonymes (cookies et autres traceurs).

SMC Talks - Internet et vie privée, une anomalie ? [S3E4] Why online privacy is not dead: negotiation and conflict in social media. The “end of privacy” is a recurring theme in current political and scientific debates about the internet.
Popular books such as Jeff Jarvis’s Public Parts announce the advent of a new ethos of “publicness” as the standard for today’s connected existence. And younger generations, especially, are often described as prone to live open digital lives. Unprecedented intrusion by governments and corporations, as revealed by the recent NSA scandals, is only part of the story: the blame is frequently put on individuals themselves, who massively share contents on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media.
A closer look, however, brings out a more complex picture. L’impact de la Politique de Confidentialité de Google sur la publicité en ligne. Olyvyer : #Labpostal "Mon profil...

California driving Internet privacy policy - Michelle Quinn. With the federal government and technology policy shut down in Washington, California is steaming ahead with a series of online privacy laws that will have broad implications for Internet companies and consumers.
In recent weeks, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a litany of privacy-related legislation, including measures to create an “eraser button” for teens, outlaw online “revenge porn” and make Internet companies explain how they respond to consumer Do Not Track requests. Continue Reading The burst of activity is another sign that the Golden State — home to Google, Facebook and many of the world’s largest tech companies — is setting the agenda for Internet regulation at a time when the White House and Congress are moving at a much more glacial pace. DuckDuckGo, PRISM, and the new business of privacy. One the most valuable things in the world right now is your data.
For Facebook and Google, your data is a window into your soul, your interests, and your buying habits. It’s how they can convince advertisers that giving them money makes sense. It’s how they’ve gotten rich. But the rise of data companies has also given birth to more than a few companies dedicated to protecting your data — or at least not actively harvesting it. Above: DuckDuckGo growth from 2010 to July 2013. One of the more prominent ones right now is DuckDuckGo, a tiny search engine that’s shown that, if you put privacy at the center of your product, people will pay attention. DuckDuckGo founder Gabe Weinberg takes a very obvious stance here. Facebook's Zuckerberg: "Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity" Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has a history of speaking his mind on privacy, and what he speaks is often fraught with problems, ignorance, and arrogance.
For example: He’s spoken wistfully about the desire to get people over the “hurdle” of wanting to preserve some semblance of privacy online.He’s proclaimed that social norms on privacy have changed, and that Facebook is merely reacting to these shifting norms.His remarks also often reveal his failure to recognize the complexity of the issues of privacy — and trust — between users and Facebook. But, today, I found a new statement that brings Zuckerberg’s hubris to a new level. Do Not Track standards group shoots down advertiser proposal. A standards group has rejected a proposed standard from several advertising groups on the best way to let people tell Web site operators not to track their behavior. The leaders of Tracking Protection Working Group, which includes representatives from browser makers, advertisers, privacy groups, and more, announced the decision Monday night. Instead, the group will use the June 2013 draft of the proposed "Do Not Track" standard.
The standards work is taking place at the World Wide Web Consortium, and the decision is final, said the group's two co-chairs, Peter Swire, who joined in November , and Matthias Schunter. "We will not revisit the choices presented in the DAA change proposal and rejected in this decision," the co-chairs said, referring to the Digital Advertising Alliance. The DAA represents various advertising and marketing trade groups. The standards group didn't like several aspects of the DAA proposal, which was submitted late last month. Olivier @ Mozilla. NSA scandal delivers record numbers of internet users to DuckDuckGo. Gabriel Weinberg noticed web traffic building on the night of Thursday 6 June – immediately after the revelations about the "Prism" programme. Through the programme, the US's National Security Agency claimed to have "direct access" to the servers of companies including, crucially, the web's biggest search engines – Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.
Within days of the story, while the big companies were still spitting tacks and tight-lipped disclaimers, the search engine Weinberg founded – which pledges not to track or store data about its users – was getting 50% more traffic than ever before.

Privacy...?: We Need a Better, Simpler Narrative of US Privacy Laws. Ask yourself why a European privacy regulator can propagate the preposterous view publicly that the US has "no effective privacy laws. " And lots of people seem to believe that. And why does it matter? On the global stage, Europe is convincing many countries around the world to implement privacy laws that follow the European model.
The facts speak for themselves: in the last year alone, a dozen countries in Latin America and Asia have adopted euro-style privacy laws. Google Admits Street View Project Violated Privacy. Web social : la gratuité, à quel prix ? Rep. Johnson sends Google letter expressing concern about data sharing practices, privacy. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04)sent a letter to Larry Page, the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Google, regarding Google’s data sharing practices for apps purchased through Google Play. When consumers purchase an app through Google Play, it’s been reported that Google sends their personal information – their name, physical address, and email address – to the app developer. Sharing this information with developers is unique to Google Play and does not occur in other mobile marketplaces.
Because this information includes a physical address, it potentially threatens the physical and financial safety of consumers while chilling speech and criticism online. Congressman Johnson referred to the mobile economy as “one of the fastest growing industries in recent memory.” Data protection rules will give EU 'competitive advantage' Online Privacy: The Opt-Out Revolution Is Almost Here.
What if two-thirds of the people on the Web were invisible, secretly visiting websites and searching for products and services while leaving Internet giants like Google and Facebook in the dark about what they were doing? With no information on those people's activities, there could be no targeted advertising for them and much of the multi-billion-dollar ad Web market would collapse, forcing big changes in the business models of today's biggest and most powerful Internet companies.
While such a scenario won't come to pass overnight, a new study by market researcher Ovum indicates that millions of people could start "vanishing" from the Web within a few years, causing major disruptions to the Internet economy. The reason so many people may go data dark? Privacy concerns. The Future Is Here. PRESS RELEASES - Press Release - Data protection reform: Frequently asked questions.
