True privacy demands that I have the power to decide for myself when, how and to what extent my personal information is revealed to others, and to what extent others can link or trace that information. I think the only way to ensure true privacy and security is through the use of technologies that integrate cryptography and source code. No amount of self-regulation or legislation will change the fact that if companies have access to your information they will abuse it. But there are solutions out there. http://www.zeroknowledge.com , for example, has developed a solution that protects my personally identifiable information from ever being leaked without being anonymous. I don't have to trust anyone else to protect my privacy, so I disagree with the assessment that there is no such thing as privacy on the Net. Privacy is out there, you just need to find it.
