So true and I think an effective contribution would be to create an
Ontolog-branded ontology for Privacy.
I'm hearing people talk about two different kinds of Privacy. One
concerns information NOT communicated to another -- implanted bugs
and a personal journal are mentioned -- for which there is a
presumptive expectation of non-disclosure byf its owner. This type
of privacy out of scope on this forum in my opinion, as valid and
important as it most definitely is, because otherwise we may walk
into a cul-de-sac that turns people here off. More fruitful would be
to develop a mechanism that promotes transparency and
accountability when data owners' stated privacy expectations
are not met by those with whom the data owner has communicated the
protected information.
An ontology for representing those expectations seems appropriately
calibrated to the mission of Ontolog.net. One that can be referenced
within this text:
Facebook Term of Service (emphasis added)
"You own all of the content and information you post on
Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy
and application
settings.
In addition: For content that is covered by intellectual property
rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give
us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application
settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable,
sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP
content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP
License).
The present situation is like the dawn of telephony -- we're all
talking on a party-line, with zero expectation of privacy, now it's
time to create an SS7 protocol for the Internet, if you will. In the
meantime, I'll leave hardware matters to others who have more sway
than the soapbox we have here.
