I recently wrote articles talking about the need to create a culture of privacy, and some counter arguments to the “what’s the problem if you’ve got nothing to hide” comment on being watched. Slashdot has pointed to a couple of articles relevant to those topics.

The first is a paper called ‘I’ve Got Nothing to Hide’ and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy by Professor Daniel J. Solove of the George Washington University Law School.

The second is an article in Scientific American called Privacy Isn’t Dead, or At Least It Shouldn’t Be where Carnegie Mellon computer scientist Latanya Sweeney states that computer scientists should be trained to consider the privacy, user, and social side of what they do.
