Educational -- we have folks surfing the super-information-highway without any highway code knowledge (this is the biggest part of the problem) + plus vendor also selling vehicles without any knowledge of said highway code. 3. Political -- dangerous to users and vendors alike, the react first (for political reasons) and typically think much later on in the process. 4. Technical -- applying existing standards in manners that map correctly to existing decentralized and distributed infrastructure (centralized CA networks, Web 2.0 SaaS deployment etc.. are inherently flawed when dealing with matters of privacy). Nobody needs to compromise their privacy! Put differently "You" should be the sole calibrator or your online vulnerabilities. No need for any "big brothers" . -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
