The privacy formula
Yesterday, I read the blog of IceBear and I came to the conclusion, that there is a simple rule for privacy:
> Did you encrypt it? No? It doesn't protect your privacy!
Whereas it can be everything: An email, a connection to a server or your
girlfriend (and yes, sometimes these violate your privacy as well [not speaking
from experience])!
You can even do this in programming-talk:
if (You.encrypted(it)) { return privacy; } else { return noprivacy; }
// Or even shorter, for the friends of the ternary operator:
return (You.encrypted(it) ? privacy : noprivacy);
It is that simple. Maybe we should tell this the government, but replace the
You with TheUser
