EFF:

Out of a total of over 11,000 sneak and peek requests, only 51 were used for terrorism.

Andrew Leonard:

Do we want our health insurers and employers to get their hands on real-time data that could conceivably be tracking our alcohol consumption or sexual experiences or mental health? Who will own this data, ultimately -- the manufacturers of the devices that collect it, the insurers and employers who act upon it, or us, the creators? Where does the data live?

The "full-disclosure future" is upon us. What happens to privacy when "wellness" becomes a condition of your employment?

Juli Clover:

Verizon is altering the web traffic of its customers by inserting a Unique Identifier Header or UIDH, a temporary serial number that lets advertisers identify Verizon users on the web. According to Jacob Hoffman-Andrews of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the UIDH serves as a "perma-cookie" that can be read by any web server to "build a profile" of internet habits.

Evgeny Morozov:

If so much of our everyday behaviour is already captured, analysed and nudged, why stick with unempirical approaches to regulation? Why rely on laws when one has sensors and feedback mechanisms?

Ali Winston and Darwin Bond Graham:
