Dear WeatherCat Netizens,
This morning the PewResearch Internet Project has a study they did on people's perceptions of privacy and security. You can read it for yourself here:
http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/11/12/public-privacy-perceptions/Perhaps the most important result that they found is that Americans have lost their confidence that they have control over their personal information on the Internet.
Nonetheless, there is a bit of confusion if not hypocrisy in that a majority of Americans are will to share personal information in exchange for free services. Considering how potentially damaging such information could in the wrong hands, this may well be a case of being penny-wise but pound-foolish.
For your information . . . . .
Cheers, Edouard
