En France, le gouvernement prévoit aussi un dispositif de surveillance des ordinateurs
"Aujourd'hui, on peut procéder à des écoutes ou filmer le domicile d'une personne suspecte. L'idée est de pouvoir faire la même chose pour l'informatique et d'être en capacité de savoir ce qui se passe, à un moment donné, dans un ordinateur", explique un conseiller de MmeAlliot-Marie.

Introducing the Yahoo! Open Strategy (Yahoo! Developer Network blog)
Google est pour les geeks, Yahoo! et MSN pour tout le monde. Leur pouvoir de concentration des informations individuelles est … inquiétant.The Social Platform isn’t yet another social networking vertical from Yahoo!. It's a common social infrastructure that will span all of Yahoo! and the web beyond. We’ll start by collapsing the Y! 360 and Mash connection lists into one social repository (and add a new user interface to it), then we'll take a proactive approach to tapping into the TEN BILLION aggregate relationships in Mail, Messenger, Address Book, and other social areas of Yahoo! to recommend connections to our users.

Google LatLong: It's your world. Map it.
En effet pourquoi s'arrêter là. Nous savons tous que la foule anonyme respecte la vie privée, défend des valeurs communes dans le meilleur intérêt des individus. Plus le Web progresse dans cette direction et plus je veux m'en extraire. Le seul problème, c'est que le Web fait partie de la société, et que même en faisant le choix conscient de s'extraire, les autres vous y mettent (dans tous les sens du terme).And so we thought: Why stop there?

Data-mining detects the disaffected | Military Tech - Mark Rutherford looks at how the military merges with the digital age - CNET Blogs
The technology, based on something called Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PDF), scours an organization's e-mail traffic and constructs a graph of social network interactions illustrating employee activity. If a worker suddenly stops socializing online, abruptly shifts alliances within the organization, or starts developing an unhealthy interest in "sensitive topics," the system detects it and alerts investigators.

Microsoft Announces New Reporting Standard for Digital Campaign Performance: Engagement Mapping: New approach allows advertisers to map and assign value to various touch points, gaining a more complete picture of a campaign.
magnifique :(REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 25, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced Engagement Mapping, a new approach to managing and measuring the effectiveness of online campaigns that goes beyond the current “last ad clicked” standard. For the last decade, virtually all ad campaign reporting methodologies associate sales, leads and Web traffic simply to the last click or ad exposure. Engagement Mapping takes into account for the first time all the various online touchpoints and interactions a consumer experiences before an eventual sale.

J'avais lu quelquechose de similaire de la part d'une personne des services de renseignements (US?). La quantité est en fait un problème pour l'analyse. Cependant, la disponibilité est un facteur de fragilisation de l'individu. Une sorte de roulette russe. Ils m'ont vu, pas vu.Today, it would take five years to read all the new scientific content produced online every 24 hours. Obscurity, not piracy, is the issue for publishers.
Social Privacy
The problem is really that you can't know, even to a reasonable degree of certainty, that you have made all the right choices, exposed only what you want and nothing else, and that those settings are going to be honored in the way you think they are.

The gaze of strangers: Morocco, male love and modernity | openDemocracy
In December 2007, the Moroccan court of justice sentenced six men to jail terms of between two and ten months for the crime of homosexuality. The men had been filmed participating in a mock wedding of two men in the northern town of Ksar el-Kebir. Moroccans saw the video on the internet: someone, and than many people, loaded what appeared to be low-quality mobile-phone videos of the ceremony onto You Tube.

What is Feedfetcher, and why is it ignoring my robots.txt file?
Feedfetcher requests come from explicit action by human users. When users add your feed to their Google homepage or to Google Reader, Google's Feedfetcher attempts to obtain the content of the feed in order to display it. Since all requests come from humans, Feedfetcher has been designed to ignore robots.txt.

NewsFactor Network | Google's 'My Location' a Threat to Privacy?
GPS, systeme opaque -> Bien... CellPhone, systeme identifie -> mauvaisGoogle's new "My Location" feature in Google Maps for phones creates an "unnecessary privacy risk," according to Marc Rotenberg, director of EPIC. In his view, it is safer and more private for consumers to use a standalone GPS device for location information instead of Google Maps. "A typical GPS device leaves the user in control," he said.
