Editor's Notes
- Yes, the title of this presentation is meant to be a bit inflammatory. I don’t actually believe that we don’t care about privacy. I’m just concerned that our profession hasn’t done much to address it. So why do I think we need to do something? The products and services we evaluate are increasingly going to have a component to them that could either protect or shatter user privacy. We have experience with developing methods for effectively evaluate products. We have the clout to change how interfaces are designed and how product strategy decisions are made. Let’s think about the recent trends.
