Extrait d’une lettre d’opinion du juriste américain Tim Wu, intitulée How Capitalism Betrayed Privacy, et publiée dans le New York Times le 10 avril 2019 :
Perhaps the hardest truth we’ve learned is that once you realize you’re being watched, it is a tough sensation to shake. As our experiences with social media have made all too clear, we act differently when we know we are “on the record.” Mass privacy is the freedom to act without being watched and thus, in a sense, to be who we really are — not who we want others to think we are. At stake, then, is something akin to the soul.
Intéressante constatation qui soutient la thèse que nous assistons de plus en plus à de la mise en scène dans la société, thèse explorée dans plusieurs billets de ce blogue.
