privacy

I value my privacy, and if sometimes my actions seem strange or arbitrary or capricious, I do not want them challenged.

I suppose you come in here often, then,_ I say, half teasing. __ringing your maids and admirers?__agiano frowns at that. He shakes his head. __ou think I__ bedding every maid I speak to?_ he says and shrugs. __lattered, Your Majesty. But you are very wrong.___o, what you__e telling me is that you come to this secret space alone?__e tilts his head in a flirtatious way. __hat__ wrong with a thief wanting a little private time now and then?_ He comes closer. His breath warms my skin like the fog that hovers over the water. __f course, here you are. I suppose I__ not alone, after all.

Every time I do an interview people ask similar questions, such as "What is the most significant story that you have revealed?" [_] There really is only one overarching point that all of these stories have revealed, and that is__nd I say this without the slightest bit of hyperbole or melodrama; it's not metaphorical and it's not figurative; it is literally true__hat the goal of the NSA and it's five eyes partners in the English speaking world__anada, New Zealand, Australia and especially the UK__s to eliminate privacy globally, to ensure that there could be no human communications that occur electronically, that evades their surveillance net; they want to make sure that all forms of human communications by telephone or by Internet, and all online activities are collected, monitored, stored and analyzed by that agency and by their allies.That means, to describe that is to describe a ubiquitous surveillance state; you don't need hyperbole to make that claim, and you do not need to believe me when I say that that's their goal. Document after document within the archive that Edward Snowden provided us declare that to be their goal. They are obsessed with searching out any small little premise of the planet where some form of communications might take place without they being able to invade it.

Privacyâ__ is an unusable term. We should instead talk about freedom, autonomy and self-determination of the individual. Being allowed to be yourself, to think whatever you want and to act within the law with no hindrance. That resonates with everyone.

The sleeper turns his back on everyone.

Privacy and pollution are similar problems. Both cause harm that is invisible and pervasive. Both result from exploitation of a resource--whether it is land, water, or information. Both suffer from difficult attribution. It is not easy to identify a single pollutant or a single piece of data that caused harm. Rather, the harm often comes from an accumulation of pollutants, or an assemblage of data. And the harm of both pollution and privacy is collective. No one person bears the burden of all pollution; all of society suffers when the air is dirty and the water undrinkable. Similarly, we all suffer when we live in fear that our data will be used against us by companies trying to exploit us or police officers sweeping us into a lineup. (212-213)

Apparently, the glasses didn__ need to be connected to the internet for the wearer to poke into someone__ personal life. Even though a search engine could lead to an individual__ address, the browser couldn__ actually physically take you there. What had this inventor done? Did he have any idea?

It was like setting up a guillotine in the public square.You don't expect a thousand people to line up to put their heads in it.

Technology would have long ago made privacy impossible, except that this had only made it more precious and desirable--and in the close confines of starship life, respect for another's privacy had become a powerful tradition.

The Crystal Wind is the storm, and the storm is data, and the data is life. You have been slaves, denied the storm, denied the freedom of your data. That is now ended; the whirlwind is upon you . . . . . . Whether you like it or not.

He handed Mae a piece of paper, on which he'd written, in crude all capitals, a list of assertions under the headline "The Rights of Humans in a Digital Age." Mae scanned it, catching passages: "We must all have the right to anonymity." "Not every human activity can be measured." "The ceaseless pursuit of data to quantify the value of any endeavour is catastrophic to true understanding." "The barrier between public and private must remain unbreachable." At the end she found one line, written in red ink: "We must all have the right to disappear.

There is a certain delightful sort of hope which the introvert can receive only by having company over...the hope that they will leave soon.

It is acknowledged that father-daughter incest occurs on a large scale in the United States. Sexual abuse has now been included in child abuse legislation. A conservative estimate is that more than 1 million women have been sexually victimized by their fathers or other male relatives, but the true figure probably is much higher. Many victims still fear reporting incest, and families continued to collude to keep the situation secret. Issues of family privacy and autonomy remain troublesome even when incest is reported and must be resolved for treatment to be effective. " Mary de Chesnay J. Psychosoc. Nurs. Med. Health Sep. 22:9-16 Sept 1984 reprinted in Talbott's 1986 edition

The more I'm let alone and not worried the better I can function.

As much as anything else, it was a stare, not so paradoxically, of a privacy-lover who, once his privacy has been invaded, doesn't quite approve when the invader just gets up and leaves, one-two-three, like that.

To be left alone is the most precious thing one can ask of the modern world.

You need to establish a degree of privacy and solitude in order to write

I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I re
