Il Wall Street Journal pubblica dieci false convinzioni sulla privacy on line:
1) Privacy is free.
2) If there are costs of privacy, they are borne by companies.
3) If consumers have less control over information, then firms must gain and consumers must lose.
4) Information use is “all or nothing”.
5) If consumers have less privacy, then someone will know things about them that they may want to keep secret.
6) Information can be used for price discrimination (differential pricing), which will harm consumers.
7) If consumers knew how information about them was being used, they would be irate.
8 ) Increasing privacy leads to greater safety and less risk.
9) Restricting the use of information (such as by mandating consumer “opt-in”) will benefit consumers.
10) Targeted advertising leads people to buy stuff they don’t want or need.

Almost 50 percent of all Facebook users are members of regional networks, so this is an important issue for us. If we can build a better system, then more than 100 million people will have even more control of their information. The plan we’ve come up with is to remove regional networks completely and create a simpler model for privacy control where you can set content to be available to only your friends, friends of your friends, or everyone. We’re adding something that many of you have asked for — the ability to control who sees each individual piece of content you create or upload. In addition, we’ll also be fulfilling a request made by many of you to make the privacy settings page simpler by combining some settings. If you want to read more about this, we began discussing this plan back in July.
