Imaginaire cyberespace. Passerelle entre espace et endroit.
“C'est une place, pas un espace”(”
It's place, not space”).
“La localisation ne parle pas de géographie. La chose la plus importante n'est pas l'espace où vous êtes (les coordonnées), mais l'endroit où vous êtes (les gens, les idées et les interactions entre eux). L'espace est juste une passerelle pour accéder à l'endroit : nous avons besoin des coordonnées pour les comparer à d'autres, mais ce qui est important c'est la proximité.”
Partie I - C2
Imaginaire cyberespace. Passerelle entre espace et endroit.
Some threats to locational privacy are overt: it's evident how cameras backed by face-recognition software could be misused to track people and record their movements. In this document, we're primarily concerned with threats to locational privacy that arise as a hidden side-effect of clearly useful location-based services.
We can't stop the cascade of new location-based digital services. Nor would we want to — the benefits they offer are impressive. What urgently needs to change is that these systems need to be built with privacy as part of their original design. We can't afford to have pervasive surveillance technology built into our electronic civic infrastructure by accident. We have the opportunity now to ensure that these dangers are averted.
