Jiri’s Notepad

“One reader asked where our right to privacy was written down, and the short and easy answer is that it isn’t, at least not specifically. Most court rulings involving privacy have come from reading between the lines, which is why so many pronouncements involving privacy are controversial.” [Infoworld]

What causes further controversies is the fact that

1. the loss of customer’s privacy translates almost directly into increased revenue at the merchant side
   
2. the concept of privacy is influenced by a culture one lives in.
