Excerpt of article text...
Here I share links to interesting programming-related articles from around the web. Note that these may not have anything to do with Xojo, and I don't necessarily advocate the opinions shared—I simply think they're worth reading for a broader perspective.
What Is Privacy For?

Excerpt: ...the standard view of privacy assumes there is "some information that already exists," and what matters is keeping it out of the wrong hands. Such an assumption, for Pressly, is fatal. It "misses privacy's true value and unwittingly aids the forces it takes itself to be resisting," he writes. To be clear, Pressly is not opposed to reforms that would give us more power over our data—but it is a mistake "to think that this is what privacy is for." "Privacy is valuable not because it empowers us to exercise control over our information," he argues, "but because it protects against the creation of such information in the first place."
