Re: [projectvrm] Dire Wolff on privacy

His bottom line:

"information sharing needs to be controlled on the user’s terms (who might derive various types of value from it), not on the companies’ terms (whose primary purpose is to derive economic value from it).”

Irrelevant but interesting: The original dire wolf: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dire_wolf>.

Privacy is getting it fair share of discussion here on the VRM list.

P. Wolff (known to many as Dire Wolff) (and not to be confused with Phil Wolff, a contributor to this list) offers a response to the widely circulated Chris Messina piece in Medium about Google+, and discusses privacy, and the levels of control end users have once data about them has been acquired.

It ends with a strong statement, in total support of VRM.
