The document discusses privacy and the internet, noting that as networked technologies have advanced it has presented new challenges for privacy as more personal information is shared, tracked, and made persistent online. Examples are given of how much information people unintentionally share on platforms like Facebook and how many files websites can track a user's computer downloading in one visit. The document argues that individuals and technology companies should think about transparency, control of personal information, and developing technical solutions to better protect online privacy.

th

11. "The affordances of networked

12. Persistence
Replicability
Scalability
Searchability

13. This leads to unintentional

57. Transparency is also a trade off

58. Some technical things
you could do

65. What can you do for others?

67. Transparency and control

72. Think about a next generation
