I have a lot of fears about the Internet. I fear the loss of privacy. It is still seen by far too many people as the domain of other than minorities, of other than women, of other than poor people, and it’s got to be about all of us. I fear that it is becoming a pay-to-play ethic, and the thing you’re going to be having to pay with is your privacy.
As someone who has been involved for twenty years in trust and identity and security, I still was shocked after the Snowden Revelations.
My fears today are the companies, the twenty-six persons who have the 48% of the capital of the world. And as the Internet reflects the world, we have the same in the Internet.
A lot of these things were predicted, and we were told about them—we were warned about them. Things like loss of privacy and malevolence on the Internet and malware. We were warned, and a lot of us um, put on our rose-colored glasses and said oh well, let’s go chasing waterfalls anyway.
I really hope that the Internet can continue to have connectivity without bifurcation. That we don’t have little Internets everywhere.
It’s always true that it’s easier to break things than to make them secure. So, as long as we have just an arms race, the bad guys will keep winning.
My hope is that the Internet continues to develop based on its underlying culture, which is an open technology that is accessible to everyone.
