A great podcast/presentation that has started to circulate around the blogosphere, about how the internet and the progress is affecting our anonymity.
Steve Rambam (who is/was a private investigator, and ironically looks very much like one, thou also like an italian mafia boss) takes on many interesting things in this 3 hour long talk, including
– What information we are putting in “The Database” ourselves and how the way people are disclosing information about themselves changed over the past 10 years.
– Just how much information does a mobile phone broadcast about its owner.
– How easy it is nowadays for a detective to find out anything about you without leaving his or her desk.
– What kind of databases are being put together, sold and used, and what kind of information can be found there.
– A couple of interesting sites for information hunting.
