Long+Live+Privacy

Hubaux, Jean-Pierre and Ari Juels. "Privacy Is Dead, Long Live Privacy." Communications of the ACM, vol. 59, no. 6, June 2016, p. 39. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1145/2834114.

This is a fairly new article, published June of 2016, by Communications of the ACM. This article shows how we are slowly allowing privacy to be destroyed. They even compare it to global warming- man made, and slowly destroying us. Privacy Enacting Technologies have been put in place to help slow down privacy being lost, such as: hiding IP addresses and locations or publish documents anonymously. Most of us know that within our phones, cars, radios and many more devices there are ways to track them. As we continue to advance technology and add more luxury features such as GPS, Bluetooth, and apps like “find my iPhone” we sacrifice our privacy. We are constantly sharing data we have no idea can harm us because it brings a little joy. The article states that we must prepare for a future without privacy at all. Try to imagine what that would look like in terms of job qualifications, home ownership, or just simply everyday relationships. No secrecy. This article helps to show he we Americans are blindly letting our government and private companies to take away what should be a basic right...privacy.
