[NCSG-Discuss] AW: [NCSG-Discuss] WEF Background Paper

[Andrei Barburas]

Dear all,

Regarding the invasion of privacy and apps that upload your contacts to a
crowdsourced database...

I strongly believe that we should create the opportunity to educate people
regarding what they can and cannot do in order for their privacy to be
"safe"; here I am not talking about governments, I am talking about
organizations that develop such apps.

On the other hand, it is also important to know and realize that even if I
am careful with what I share, that doesn't mean that my
friends/colleagues/buddies are as careful as I am.

Have an excellent week ahead!
