Quotation of the Day for February 19, 2011"...the familiar trope of "balancing privacy and security" is a source of constant frustration to privacy advocates, because while there are clearly sometimes tradeoffs between the two, it often seems that the zero-sum rhetoric of "balancing" leads people to view them as always in conflict. This is, I suspect, the source of much of the psychological appeal of "security theater": If we implicitly think of privacy and security as balanced on a scale, a loss of privacy is ipso facto a gain in security. It sounds silly when stated explicitly, but the power of frames is precisely that they shape our thinking without being stated explicitly." - Julian Sanchez [http://www.juliansanchez.com/2011/02/04/the-trouble-with-balance-metaphors/] Submitted by: Phil Wolff Feb. 12, 2011  |
