Isn't that just a war of business models? Free range advertising v walled garden consumer? I do not see any relative privacy gains from being internal to a walled garden? Do apple allow their consumers to sift or block the privacy intrusions of their own iApps and advertising? It doesn't look like it on my mum's iPad?
Perhaps regardless of context it would be nice if there were some ground rules about agency and privacy? We will need to tackle agency and privacy in order to live with the implications of the internet of things, which even if it is a walled garden in the product source sense will be 'free range' in terms of being explicitly receptive within our homes and hopefully subject to limits around 'peace of our possessions'.? _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
