Lack of Notice, Lack of Autonomy

A 2008 Carnegie Mellon study determined that if we performed an annual review of the lengthy privacy policies girding our Internet activity, the sacrifice for our personal edification would be $365 billion in lost productivity. This calculation speaks to the imbalanced core of our relationship with for-profit communications technology: they provide quick means to satiate a primal need for social belonging, and in exchange, we cede bits of our autonomy over a long, data-mined period of time. This paper will explore how communication companies’ failure to give legal notice – and consumers’ inertia in taking notice – of their surveillance erodes our society's well-being.

You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable. To restrict access to your paper simply delete the "#" character on the next two lines:

• #Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = TWikiAdminGroup, MiaLee
• #Set DENYTOPICVIEW = TWikiGuest

Note: TWiki has strict formatting rules for preference declarations. Make sure you preserve the three spaces, asterisk, and extra space at the beginning of these lines. If you wish to give access to any other users simply add them to the comma separated ALLOWTOPICVIEW list.
