No thanks.<\/a> I\u2019m hard\u00adly the tar\u00adget mar\u00adket for Chrome OS, but I fear (FEAR!<\/em>) the pri\u00adva\u00adcy and secu\u00adri\u00adty impli\u00adca\u00adtions of mov\u00ading to a non-local-stor\u00adage mod\u00adel for every\u00adthing I work on, espe\u00adcial\u00adly when encryp\u00adtion of my data has no long-term guar\u00adan\u00adtees what\u00adso\u00adev\u00ader<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I appre\u00adci\u00adate sci\u00adence fic\u00adtion\u2019s por\u00adtray\u00adal of the future as a ubiq\u00adui\u00adtous info por\u00adtal (Accelleran\u00addo<\/a>) but this stretch\u00ades my trust beyond its lim\u00adit regard\u00adless of whether a com\u00adpa\u00adny or gov\u00adern\u00adment is in charge of the buy-in.<\/p>\n

Diver\u00adsi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion is the only safe route here. I want to see a pletho\u00adra of phys\u00adi\u00adcal-body devices with unique, user-pro\u00adgram\u00adma\u00adble, lay\u00adered encryp\u00adtion sys\u00adtems. I don\u2019t want the data to be stored in a gener\u00adic inter\u00adop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adble for\u00admat; design an inter\u00adop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adble API instead. This abstrac\u00adtion means I can dis\u00adable API access and my data is phys\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly protected.<\/p>\n

Google and co have clear\u00adly deter\u00admined (I think cor\u00adrect\u00adly) that the way to ensure long-term free\u00addom of the human race from tyran\u00adny is to enable unbro\u00adken com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion, access to infor\u00adma\u00adtion and learn\u00ading resources, and demand us to be altru\u00adis\u00adtic and hon\u00adest for fear of the greater trust-web being bro\u00adken. I seri\u00adous\u00adly think we\u2019ll reach a point where the trust-web will be so impor\u00adtant that it\u2019ll become sacro\u00adsanct<\/em>, with vio\u00adla\u00adtors giv\u00aden the future equiv\u00ada\u00adlent of cor\u00adpo\u00adral pun\u00adish\u00adment: the denial of access to information.<\/p>\n

We see the roots of this in our eco\u00adnom\u00adic sys\u00adtem, where the greater good is served by main\u00adtain\u00ading faith in the val\u00adue of oth\u00aders. Note how many reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions we need to hold this sys\u00adtem togeth\u00ader against the mul\u00adti\u00adtudes who want to cheat and scam for per\u00adson\u00adal ben\u00ade\u00adfit; when exposed their pun\u00adish\u00adment is the denial of fur\u00adther influ\u00adence upon the system.<\/p>\n

Until we make a diety of the trust-web, secu\u00adri\u00adty and pri\u00adva\u00adcy are the biggest con\u00adcerns. We should always have an exit, an opt-out in the form of per\u00adson\u00adal encryp\u00adtion and removal of our data from the pub\u00adlic eye. I don\u2019t trust cen\u00adtralised systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
