Please argue with me about • Let us not divide and conquer ourselves: – The standard (scientific ? !) distribution of work can be a dangerous self-blinding and continued delegation of responsibility when it comes to problems like privacy. – (Being forced to) being responsible is not only bad, but also part and parcel of being a human & a citizen. • We need awareness (tools), but we also need to build – true private spaces – true public spaces • “Privacy is not only about clicking Facebook. “
