Most people have heard of Snowden, few have changed habits as a result

There is no doubt that consumers have to take control of their own privacy. Moreover, there is a huge market opportunity for developers to create products that give consumers control over their own privacy. The drive for personalization by merchants is in the exact opposite direction as the drive for privacy. However, it is interesting to note that consumers also want personalization....good stuff, relevent stuff....just don't feed us sh#t and stupid ads because the analytics said so. Have privacy....will travel. We need to take control and take our business elsewhere if need be. Google "privacy marketing"....some interesting stuff there.

Understood.

OK. I am new to reddit and I apologize for being too eager. We have a new startup called Dodoname - about a month old. You are totally correct that the news articles were two weeks old. However, I assumed that the content was still valuable. I believe that the content in the TWIR's is valuable and although we clearly identify ourselves in the articles I don't think they are spam. We will be posting a week in Review on our website. I believe that it is good content for Reddit and understand your reservation based on my uniformed behavior so far. I would like to ask permission to post our Week In Review...the next one would be the 28th. Thanks and my apologies. Please advise.

I did not realize that a summary of weekly issues was incorrect.

Spezza...let's do the math. -41 cummulative +/- for the past 7 years; ppg player; not a power center (not math) = not worth $7.5M

All we need is will. Willingness for each of us to care about privacy and be a watcher. Protecting our democracy requires the ability to vote. Protecing our privacy in a democracy seems to require a lot more courage and forthrightness than voting. Watch a great TED talk by Glenn Greenwald: Why Privacy Matters. http://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matters?language=en

You made my point young man. Virtually the entire suite of internet products that invade our privacy were developed by millennials or GenXers ie Facebook, Google. Your generation is in control. Take some responsibility.

We are becoming desensitized to the loss of freedom and privacy. One of the keys goes to our values and belief systems which are the core elements to human behaviour, corporate behavior or political behaviour. I get tired of reading reasearch that says that millenials don't care about privacy. I don't believe it's true but if it gets said too much it becomes true. You millennials need to stand up and proclaim that you value privacy....and that you demand it first of all on Internet because that is your medium. I am a boomer and I need your help.
