On Sunday Times

I did a phone interview with Sunday Times regarding online privacy on Google Latitude and the article was printed yesterday.
And nope, I haven’t give up on online privacy, although I feel that it’s getting harder and harder to be private online. A few keypoints that was mentioned during the interview but wasn’t printed. For example, I mentioned that you must approve your friends before they can see your location on Google Latitude. I only approve people whom I know. And since the location is not broadcast, I don’t see why its a online privacy issue.
Google Latitude is actually an useful tool. There won’t be any privacy issues if it is used correctly.

It is an privacy issue because there are times you don’t want even people you know to know where you are. And who know people whom you call a friend today, which you then approve, becomes an adversary tomorrow?

Xizor2000: Well, you can always turn off when you don’t want people to know where you are. You can also block individual person on your list too.
So not that bad lah.
