I think the most compelling part of the analogy in the previous comment is "wearing a wire" and not "shouting it from the rooftops." Like Jack said, trusting that information won't be shared widely is already covered by an existing societal norm in the offline world. Complete recording is not. In the offline world, it's hard to actively record everything that's said or done -- you have to go out of your way to do it, and it's largely obvious when you do. In the online world, everything is _implicitly_ recorded, whether or not it's obvious. What's more, even if it's actively destroyed, if someone really wants to recover deleted data, they can and will with a subpoena. As a result, if you want the same attitude toward identity recognition online as offline, you need better guarantees about what's recorded and what's not, and make the norm that it's actively NOT recorded unless you're told it will be.Mike Monteironoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595126709385852916.post-89286438069398416632009-10-01T13:54:36.298-07:002009-10-01T13:54:36.298-07:00In the real world no one stores my conversations f...In the real world no one stores my conversations forever. I can be more honest with you face to face, because I know you aren't wearing a wire, and won't shout our convo to the rooftops.<br /><br />Identity verification is only half.
