DESCRIPTION

This talk will begin with one of the core themes of the early development of agile software - that those involved in software development should take a more collaborative role, not just building software but helping to determine how software can help its users. We believe that this engagement requires greater knowledge of a user’s goals and also responsibility for the user’s welfare and our impact on the world. While the Internet has brought great benefits in communication, it’s also led to an unprecedented opportunity for mass surveillance, both by states and private corporations. We’ll discuss how defeating such surveillance requires greater security in our communication, reversing recent centralization, and attention to user experience. Since the beginning of this year, ThoughtWorks has worked on applying these principles to email. The argument of “I have nothing to hide” is flawed and we'll explain why it is our responsibility to take up this task.

Privacy, Responsibility and the Internet

RESPONSIBILITY

ETHICS

Jim Gumbley

“However much they may dislike it, they have become the command-and-control

networks of choice for terrorists and criminals, who find their services as transformational as the rest of us.”

“If you have something that you don't

want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.”

The value of privacy to us isn't primarily about our privacy but about those who play a

more active role in the operation of a democratic system of government.

Such activity often involves bothering people who have power, and those with power are

likely to use their power to suppress the bothersome. But without all that bothering,

democracy withers.
