Privacy and unpleasant surprises

Privacy guru Dick Hardt introduces a simple privacy guideline on the Identity 2.0 blog.

If the user is pleasantly surprised or does not notice, the use of identity information is a feature. If the user is unpleasantly surprised, then it is a privacy problem.

Are you listening, Facebook? No more cack-handed surprises. Thanks.

P.S. If you haven’t watched Dick’s infamous Identity 2.0 presentation, watch it now.
