A top US intelligence official says that citizens should change their notion of privacy to match that of their governement. Privacy should be regarded as a framework as a system of laws, rules and customs. Instead people should focus on how the information, that will be gathered anyway, will be safeguarded.
There are fragments of each person spread all over the world. Personal data in governement computers concerning every part of your life. Information about your financial status in banks and financial institutions. And now information about your personal status in the Facebook database.
