II privacy of the evolution and essence
People on the privacy of the tolerance has been over time and the degree of openness of the passage and evolution, 20 years ago, just to have Internet when the photo even if the privacy. If someone took your photo and placed to the BBS, people turned out to see your true image, you will feel that privacy was severely violated. And by 2006, flicks to photo a People in Photos feature, users can easily in a photograph marked the emergence of the person's name. Is marked people often do not feel that is violating privacy.
Now, the photos for most of the people have been not so difficult to tolerate the Privacy up. With Facebook after a photo is simply as it should be, with Instagram after that you at any time may be others down Pat, sticking to one anyone can see the place. Visible on the privacy definition is always changing.
Exactly what is the most important privacy anyway? I think that is associated to a physical person approach. For example, I get a bunch of websites to access the data if I only knew how to create these data of the IP address, which is not calculated to give the other's privacy, and once I got it was using the IP of the physical person, in this way the access to the data and this person is connected, at this time these data will become very sensitive, and this time these data and link relationship has become privacy.
I am very able to understand people for the ID number of leaks to worry about, but the number itself actually doesn't make any sense, the real harm is that the reality of the society there are a lot of resources is associated with the identity card number on it. This is why people no longer worry about photos this privacy, and worry about the ID number, because the latter is associated with more important information.
In fear ID number is leaked at the same time, very few people will think about it, why do we need to put so much information into a single number. For example, why do a mobile phone card need ID? Why live a property also need? Why buy the train ticket also need? Why go to Internet cafes also need? Why buy a kitchen knife, also need?
Use with photo official identification, the main purpose is to demonstrate the physical person in the end is who. Such as for boarding and security, this time the need to confirm the identity is normal, but why the last Network, a shop also needs? These two are just ordinary business activities, the pay can complete the transaction, why care about people's real identity? In business activities, in most cases you can use the indirect validation approach, such as the use of prepared booking number, or telephone number, or credit card number to complete, but in reality, at least in China, often have non-ID card is not available. This in the end is why?
The answer is the government of the identity information of the extreme craving. This is not just a China problem, but a worldwide common problem.
If not this desire, then can put the information linked to the physical person of the opportunity will be less much. If the stay does not need to provide ID number, just need to verify the booking the credit card used or the order number, then it will not have this time of the leakage event.
Three more dangerous data
In reality, more data is collected than basic identity information, and more dangerous data is more than this. I have always felt that information like a time bomb includes:
Shopping history of e-commerce sites:
- Google search history
-Website browsing history
-Base station roaming history data of the mobile phone
-Overwhelming camera record
These data may not be static information such as the ID number and address of the leak, but related to the behavior record of the person. Get these data, after some calculations, you can often find out what you don't know. In contrast, the leaked thing is simply not privacy, and it is not worth worrying about.
I believe that in addition to the relevant departments, at least some of them are also circulated in certain underground channels. One day they will suddenly be exposed to everyone. Everyone should seriously think about what to do when this day comes.
The most frightening thing is that the data you have in different places is put together and used for calculations. This will calculate the life track of the whole person, and it is no privacy at all. I still need an ID card to buy a prepaid mobile phone card. I am not surprised at this situation in the future.
The website doesn't track is very visually explaining how online advertisers are targeting a person under current network conditions. The collection of such data is happening all the time. These data can be more important than the ID number, and there are not many people concerned.
