What do Fish and Privacy have in common? This video will explain.
Our expectations of privacy have shifted dramatically in the past few decades. What was once considered outrageous overreach has become normal, and we've lost sight of what a healthy amount of privacy even looks like. It's called shifting-baseline syndrome, first coined in relation to fish populations.
This video is based on a fantastic essay by Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan: We take stock of how privacy expectations have changed, and think about whether this is really the future we want to be moving towards.
