It took a lot of thinking to actually figure out a way to tell people about privacy. I knew telling them privacy is important is not going to work. Niyam suggested we ask them to give all their passwords so they realize. But neither of us actually expected people to actually share their passwords! I will be in TVM on 20th and would like to have similar interactions in any campus possible. If you can help arrange this let me know.
