Frankly, I am disappointed in EPIC. On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 11:30 PM, John Fitzpatrick <thefitzman at gmail.com>wrote:
Just read an article about EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center) asking the FTC to investigate Google for "the adequacy of the privacy and security safeguards." They have even stated that gmail, google docs, etc should be taken offline until google can prove their security. Personally when I read things like this I always ask myself 'What would Bruce Schneier say?". I think it is up to an individual to measure the risk of cloud computing and act accordingly. I know EPIC is trying to help the average Joe out there but jumping up and down and yelling at google accomplishes little. Their efforts would be better spent on teaching people how to take their privacy into their own hands. As I type I am doing a search on a p2p network and the amount of personal documents shared is staggering. Cloud computing may seem scary to privacy advocates but at least when google has a breach you hear about it. The same can't be said for when there is a breach on your personal PC attached to the internet. What are your opinions on this? _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
